    except for a few progressive politicians.

    And even they are only doing speeches and symbolic gestures. Just once I would like something done, no matter how small or little or meaningless, by a well known politician, that is more than nice oration or photo ops. But has real world ramification.

      The progressives I’m thinking of are getting a little more aggressive and that’s good thing. But I definitely know what you mean. Sometimes I pretend that I’m a leader when I’m fucked up. I’d say all kinds of cool shit that nobody could handle.

            I understand, I want a workers revolution and rule by a non democratic proletariat myself; and that is just not a popular choice with most.

            But one cannot have democracy when it’s so broken and misunderstood; might as well just redistribute the wealth, in a not so nice way, in a non democratic way, and find out where things go from there.
