When your back is against the wall and all doors seem closed to you, it is put up or shut up time.

 

OK, here goes.  May I be honest with you and acknowledge that what follows is (at least for now) a kind of "groping"?  But the basic idea is very simple.  Look at where we are.  Look at our country.  Look at our criminal lack of representation. Hey, this is a total despair place.

 

Or is it?

 

Maybe the truth is that we are in a kind of life/civilization "cusp" in which we have to "evolve" (use whatever word that works for you) into a different social/political dimension.

 

More specifically, maybe we are coming to the end (probably forever!) of traditional politics since traditional politics (e.g., the Democratic Party) has turned out to be our mortal enemy.

 

The point is, WE CAN'T FIX IT.  That's the mantra. 

 

Traditional/establishment politics is UNFIXABLE.  Any why should we be surprised since it was invented in the first place to make sure pig, pig rich people STAY pig, pig rich people. The game is stacked and the dice are loaded.  The Democratic Party may have meant something (not much!) once upon a time, but now it's like drinking ground glass to turn to the DLC for "help", since the moment an elected Democrat stops talking to us, he/she immediately turns around and returns to licking the boots of the elites. Establishment politics is made up of puppets (with VERY few exceptions) of Greek God like elites.  They don't "represent" us, and it's become obscene to even think that.  They are monkey/puppets of astronomically rich people AND THEY WILL STAY THAT WAY.

 

So, what about the hope talk?  The hope talk is that we have to keep the faith and ferocious commitment that we can start a "Citizen's Congress."
