Or "debate", as I have not really seen one of those in the media, just a bunch of silly questions begging for pat answers.
Again, Dennis Kucinich shined right through. You can sense the underlying tension in the room every time he speaks. Everyone WANTS what he wants to do. But the ol' elephant is right there along side him saying "Psst, he is 'not electable', got it?" It is probably even pink in color, for the somnolent "consumers" who by random chance ended up watching. Or maybe a parrot: "Can't support Kucinich, squawk. He will lose, squawk. He will take votes away from <whomever>, squawk. Can't take that chance, squawk. Imagine another 8 years of a Republican, squawk."
Only, we need to remember that what we are truly dealing with here is the ol' 800 lb Gorilla. And I mean the original 800 lb. Gorilla. You know, the abusive spouse, always present and ready to bean the s**t out of us. Making sure that we Know in our hearts that if we dare to take any real stand, we'll be beaten up to within an inch of our lives (or killed) when the spotlight is removed.
I have heard it said many times that the American People are like abused spouses. Well, lets "explore" that statement for a little bit, shall we?
We DO NOT DARE to REALLY STAND UP. We know IMPLICITLY what the limits are. And, as one would expect with a bullying (insane) spouse, those limits keep getting tighter and tighter. Don't they?
Wha'cha gonna do about it?
Can't really stand up, because just IMAGINE what the consequences of that would be!
Think about it, guys.
Please.
