So yes, it’s possible to assemble facts that make Obama sound relatively good
Not good, but the facts show he was (and still is) a lesser evil than McCain/Palin and Romney/Ryan. Obama was the best “choice” that the corporatists gave us.
and that the Democrats are generally better on domestic politics than the Republicans.
Generally? Did you miss that little chart I posted up there. People not having jobs kind of sucks domestically, doesn’t it? What is it, specifically, that Republicans do better on domestic issues? How about foreign policy while you are it? Multi-trillion dollar wars based upon lies that kill our soldiers, civilians and rape our wealth just doesn’t cut it for me.
Oh, and before you jump into dreaded false equivalence, 60 percent of Democratic Representatives voted against the Iraq Resolution while less than 3 percent of Republican Representatives voted against it. For some reason the media rarely focuses on how much dissent there was from Democrats. I wonder why?
But that misses the underlying problem. The Democrats and Republicans have broad areas of agreement, much of which is never up for discussion.
“Never up for discussion” is a very black and white point of view on a very grey area. Care to clarify?
When the Iraq Resolution was “up for discussion” it would have clearly been voted down (see percentage above) if more “lesser evil” Democrats were in office. But, there was a dire lack of lesser evil and greater evil prevailed.
The recent NSA scandal had a vote that failed to neuter it. Guess who voted in greater numbers to stop it? The Democrats. For some reason the media rarely focuses on how much dissent there was from Democrats. I wonder why?
Just in terms of electoral strategy, it should be trivially obvious that with a strategy of voting for the “lesser evil”, the “good” candidates will never have a chance of electoral success.
Who is this mystical “good” candidate that we’ve all been ignoring. What’s this savior’s name?
I get the feeling you’re not really reading my posts nor checking out my links while keeping an open mind. You seem to have a pre-determined mindset on this.
Once again, if you know of a third party candidate and/or democrat that is a viable threat to the current power structure, then by all means tell us who that person is now.
Who should we give our support and money to? Who can take on this current power structure and WIN? For the love of God, please step up now and let us all know thy name.
What are you waiting for, “good” candidate? Are things not evil enough around here for you yet?
