The deal is crap, OK. It sucks. The cards were always stacked. The right wing lobby changed the discussion (narrative) from jobs to debt/deficit reduction. Fine, Obama let the discussion get away, the deals detractors are fine to dislike the deal. But you can keep your sarcastic bullshit to yourselves. Who the fuck are you to tell me what to fuckin think. Your shit stinks just like the rest of us. All the "head in the sand much" and "truth hard to hear" bullshit is fine and all, I really don’t wanna hear it. It helps nothing.
By the way who made you guys the arbitrators of the truth. The truth is fact, not your opinions. Are they making fucked up deals? Yes. But whose deluding who? To go against the current Dems to replace them with better progressive candidates, I’m with you for that. But to act all high and mighty because the Dems (Obama) got rolled, and now we the people gotta swallow the shit sandwich is fucked up. Because that fuckin aids the lunatic right wing. If you cant see that then i say to you, Stick your head in the sand much?
Bernie Sanders is a hero to me, but i do not fool myself into thinking that America as it exists today. Having supposedly morphed to the right as the media says. America currently will not elect a true progressive to the presidency such as Senator Sanders. To believe otherwise is not facing the facts, creating your own "truth". We have what we have. We got to work to make that better. The Dems have been taken over by corporate America, we need to take the party back. Division wont do it. Otherwise lets start a new party, primary them all or something, but this crap needs to end. Progressives are free to disagree all we want, but lets not aid the real enemy, the ones who have us divided. The fucking right wing, the corporate oligarchy, koch bros. Etc. If you guys spent the energy you do here piling on, trying to win the party back we'd be in a better place. The repukes are hammering us, the media is hammering us, every body is fucking attacking. Now when we need to stick together, the left bails. Oh no, wait, let me rephrase. Obama bailed so we gotta spend our energy on Democratic sites showing our displeasure. Get a grip, we get you. We agree this sucks. Lets push them out of corporate hands, back into ours. Bitching and moaning gets tiring.
If you think you somehow hold the upper moral hand because you support closing gitmo or your for the Public option or prosecuting Cheney and his cronies or whatever else, we support it too. We just don’t think our energy is best used attacking the current republican administration (Obama). We need to remind them that they are Democrats, not Republicans, whom we helped get there. Remind them that yes, the Obama administration represents all Americans. But we are the core and they are not adequately representing our views, but instead moving far right. That sarcasm and wit that the anti Obama crowd has would be better spent fighting the right wing enemy IMHO. That way maybe we can get progressive legislation. We have to change the narrative to Jobs, because the right wing wants to keep it on deficit crap. Lets focus our energy on that, not arguing with each other.
I was raised in the Washington heights section of Manhattan. I grew up there, poor and during the seventies and eighties when New York City was bankrupt and our playgrounds were abandoned buildings. I eat eggs, but I hate them because I can recall eating eggs and white rice for dinner many months at a time then. By being divided we are allowing many more to have to be there and even worse. How many don’t have enough to eat or a roof over their heads? Some of us are lucky. I've been fucked up, and even today when I should be much better off years later I’m now having trouble feeding my family. Again I find myself feeding my kids white rice and eggs. Thankfully I have even that. It shocks me that when the stakes are so high in this country that some who call themselves progressives would give up, not vote Democratic and allow the righties to really inflict more pain on poor people. If this doesn't apply to you keep it moving.
Its too important not to let the republicans win in 2012. To me those snobby ones who say fuck Obama and the Dems are helping the righties. Thats my opinion, If I was using some detractors logic, I’d be calling it the truth. Poor people don’t have time for these divisions. Were too worried about how much more fucked we'll be if the right wing Taliban terrorists get a hold of all three branches of government now too. Cut the holier than though crap and lets take this party back. In the meantime for those of you who say that voting for the lessor of two evils is not possible because of your "principles". Whats your alternative? Bitching and moaning from the anonymity of your domicile may make you feel great about how witty and how fantastic your snark is. But just like the Obama admin you are popping off about, you ain’t helping none either. Principles are great and all but they ain’t putting any food on the table. I'll push to get the Dems back from their corporate masters control now, not 25 years from now. What i wont do is help the right wing by beating up on them in a similar fashion like the right does. Some of it is over the top and is counter productive. Disagree all you want, don’t go overboard and help the conservative Taliban.
