Choices, choices, choices...

Well we are at one of those forks in history

Fact is that people are PISSED and they are wondering what to do.

1.- Wait for a messiah to come and save you. Some folks have been waiting for literally 3,000 + for that, and you know what, they are still waiting, only spread the virus as it were to a second group of people, and then a third) Perhaps the message is that the messiah is in all of us and we need to act, instead of wait. But I expect some people to keep waiting for somebody to sweep down from the shy and save us.

2.- Become active in your local democratic party. I've done that in the past, and I fear I will have to do it again. Enough is enough... but I have an ulterior reason. I am actually seriously considering challenging my local democrat in the primary. Why? her voting record is ok, overall, they count on us never really doing anything when they do something this disgusting. She never faces challenges and she's in a very safe district... so my chances are purely symbolic and the action is symbolic... I would be utterly shocked if I won, to be honest.

3.- I've said it before, this is one of those magical moments in US History where throw the bums out comes... and this is also one of those moments when not one but two parties seem to be abandoning their historic bases. Can you kiddies say third parities? I know this is not popular and most people immediately think Greeen... no, I'm thinking Grangers, or even GOP (the only third party successfully challenging the presidency in US History). Why am I mentioning those two? The first meetings of the GOP occurred in 1854, and the Grangers came from nowhere. The Greens could do it for the left, if they did not have a mythical albatross on their necks, one wholly created by the media and the need to belief... Ralph Nader.

Now I know it is popular by many to blame Ralphie for the 2000 debacle, not realizing that those voters were Gore's to win, not to loose. They were not going to vote for him either way. And while you blame the greens, you ignore the USSC.

But that is why the greens have no chance in hell, or actually a very small one....

But a party emerging from nowhere and challenging, not necessarily the Presidency, (though two cycles who knows), the power structure in Congress is a real HISTORICAL possibility

I know it is popular to poopoo this

But those who do not learn from history... (and our reps did not) are condemned to repeat it.

But you will have to work for it, if you believe that is the path... I believe it is comming actually and it will shock us when it emerges, becasue it will not from the usual quarters either.
