We are discouraged because the Democratic Party pays lip service to alternative sources of energy then authorizes fracking, seismic bombing in the Arctic, and oil pipelines in our national parks while climate change promises that the worst is yet to come.
We are discouraged because the Democratic Party, with few exceptions, supports universal surveillance, the militarization of our police, and the ridiculous idea that Russia (not the 1%) is a threat to the American way of life.
Mostly, we are discouraged because so many of our friends on the left believe that Donald Trump is all that's wrong with America. That if we could impeach him all would be well again. Huhh?
The will of the American people means as little to the Democratic Party as it does to the Republican Party.
A friend recently told me, "I have to believe that no matter what, our leaders mean to do good." It doesn't seem to matter to him that former President Obama, in the very first 100 days as ex-President, immediately cashed in on his presidency by taking $800,000 as payment for two short 'speeches' to mega corporations. [2] It doesn't seem to matter to him that this appalling misuse of his position makes the ex-President now American Lobbyist In Chief. On whose behalf? ... Guess!
It is time for big change. It's time to take both parties down.
There is a need to make America good again.
