One panders to the radical right the other panders to the radical left.<br /><br />Quick change comes with revolution usually with the violent over throw of a government/political party. Is that what people in the left are looking for?memehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744596237327127713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-26110228583184704112016-03-17T16:06:47.114-05:002016-03-17T16:06:47.114-05:00Unfortunately the Republican party nomination will...Unfortunately the Republican party nomination will be such a shitshow you're going to have to continue daily coverage of the presidential race right up to November.<br /><br />The Republican convention might end up a turning point in American politics if the Republicans cannot coalesce around their candidate. If Berners start looking like dead-enders Hillary may decide to sweep far right to pick up moderate Republicans. She is so eager to be president I wouldn't put it beyond her to fracture the Democratic party in her chase for the perfect poll numbers. And it would make a certain sense that the first female, American president would have to come from the right.<br /><br />I can certainly see a future where President Hillary splits the American electorate between three political parties. One giant corporatist center-right party and two ineffectual lesser parties. One a party of far-right wing evangelicals and racists and the other a fractious coalition of progressives and social justice warriors tiptoeing around PC landmines. No doubt the Corporatist party would win elections consistently year after year.<br /><br />Of course I must apologize. It most definitely won't end up that way. Staring into the creeping horror of a successful Trump candidacy must have made me prone to flights of fantasy.joshuaismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09560375769080660652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901123.post-26587021132970668062016-03-16T20:46:28.943-05:002016-03-16T20:46:28.943-05:00The glass is half full, not half empty, who would ...The glass is half full, not half empty, who would have thought 50 years ago that a Black person would be president. Who would have thought 20 years ago that persons of the same sex could get married. While there is life there is hope.memehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744596237327127713noreply@blogger.com
