Yes I know people are going to scream at me for telling the truth but what else is new? It is a simple fact of nature that you can't fight a flood with water or a fire with gasoline. The left should have wiped the Reich-wing out this election but I saw it coming even while I tried to keep people's spirits up. So how did we lose? I include me even though I am a registered Independent I favor Green party ideas because they make more sense. Let me go through this a step at a time and see how many who read this feel the same way I do about this loss shall we?
First remember where I said you can't fight a flood with water? Why would you ever think it was a good idea to fight the GOP with money? Especially by using emails to potential voters that were demoralizing? Using fear in a Republican trick you need to instead inspire a sense of hope (remember hope and change?) Fire the stupid fuck who thought of that one and anyone who agreed it was “a good idea” because you told those who didn't have money NOT to bother to vote because theirs doesn't count! People want someone they can believe in not a loser who admits to them he or she doesn't have what it takes.... Republican voters believe in their economic and political ideas just like they believe in their religion in fact it is a religion to them. I say this because it is true and can prove it easily just like any Christian fundamentalist a Republican denies reality. They deny their economic policies crashed the economy. They deny that even though they live in poverty and squalor that their leaders are taking advantage of them. They deny you are more likely to be killed by a Christian terrorist in this country than a Muslim one (the FBI states that 5% of domestic terrorism is Muslim, 6% Jewish, and 89% is Christian). Besides what can you buy with money TV ads? People watch corporate news services have already decided because lies are being pounded into their tiny brains everyday. TV has a great potential and the GOP has harnessed that to terrorize people into a religious belief that the Democrats and those like them are coming to take away their guns and enslave them because “communism.” They have even convinced these uneducated boobs and bumpkins that Hitler was a Marxist....
So how do you fight this tide of ignorance? First off you know the supreme court is packed right? OK unpack it by working to get some of those hard right wing judges off the court using the LAW! Conflict of interest can get a judge disbarred and bad decisions are grounds for impeachment so use those options you fucking idiots don't just sit around whining! If you can unseat two of the fuckers you just won! Fire Tom fucking Wheeler's ass and replace the bastard with someone who will not sell people out for corporate profits. Get someone in charge of the FCC that will no only keep the Internet free but outlaw manufactured news and blatant lies like FAUX broadcasts to its moronic zombie audience! Crack down on these fraudsters who manufacture “news” for the zombies by making them liable for their falsehoods. If they call it “news” they should be able to prove it is news or be barred from doing business with fines and prison sentences stemming from fraud charges. But what about “freedom of speech” you ask? Does freedom of speech include you threatening to kill someone? Yell “fire” or “gun” in a crowded dark movie theater? Try it and see what a judge tells you while handing down your sentence.... We know they have been rigging the voting machines because they keep switching votes to Republicans so lets call it what it is and charge the owner with election fraud as well as the GOP under RICO. Confiscate their assets dammit send the guilty parties to prison where they belong! Mitch's father in law smuggled cocaine into the country charge Mitch under Rico as well. Change the laws so that no felon may run for or hold elected office at any level local, state or federal, include appointed offices, news broadcasting, pundits, and lobbyists!
Next start showing the people you do care what happens to them instead of just paying lip service while kissing Goldman Sach's ass to get more money, Force the US Chamber of Commerce to disclose all donations and limit their lobbying and contribution levels. The Republicans complaining that you are picking on their fraudulent organizations tax exempt status? Get someone at the IRS who will investigate them and charge them with tax fraud including their contributors like the Koch brothers. Lets see how persecuted they feel behind bars for tax fraud (if it was good enough for Al Capone it should be good enough for them especially if you use RICO again and tell them the money is going to help those they forced into poverty). The worst mistake FDR made was in not charging those who aided Hitler during WW2 with treason because the Bush family among others would never have been a factor in politics after that.
Once you have broken these scumbags at that point you need to start fresh and work towards making life better for everyone not just a few rich bastards who have a taste for slavery. Fix the damage they have done to our tax code by blocking inversions again, repealing the tax credits for sending American jobs overseas, fixing the Free Trade Agreement to exclude countries without human and workers rights laws, minimum wages above poverty, and environmental protection laws. Force these countries to either meet these standards or pay high tariffs while charging corporations that bribe governments with the foreign corrupt practices act and putt some teeth in it with seizure and sale of assets not to mention time in prison for company officers. Stop gouging people for an education, follow Germany’s example, and stop funding private schools that are designed to promote religion, or provide substandard educations. Start teaching in schools again and offer children pre-schools that help them get a good start. Push solar and wind power as well as desalination and stop allowing privatization of public goods . Corporations can never do it “cheaper and better” because they cut costs excepting high risks to maximize profits while charging all the market will bear...
In short Democrats we need a new FDR who is part Teddy Roosevelt too and will club these crooks into submission while fixing the promise the founding fathers made to us over 238 years ago that we would have “Government of the people, by the people, and for the people!”
5:55 AM PT: I am getting a lot of flack here from both defeatists and people who know neither history or law yet profess that they know more than anyone else. Either this site has been invaded by conservative trolls or I underestimated badly the ability and intelligence of the Democratic party. It seems that some may not even be capable of admitting they just don't have what it takes to be a winner. Perhaps this country is doomed and will fragment because some just don't have the guts to fight back.
