(62,325 posts)word you say. I KNOW it isn't about justice. We once thought that electing Democrats would change things. But seven years later, as you say, it's STILL all about THEM and to hell with justice, or a good Democrat's life. His main crime is that he IS a Democrat.
Do you think people are not aware of what you say? That they don't realize by now that all the talk of 'change' meant nothing? That voters are no longer willing to buy campaign rhetoric because they have learned, as you just pointed out, that it means NOTHING?
And then people blame voters when the lose! Did they really think we, ordinary people, think like THEM, scurrilous, soulless political animals?
That we the people will EVER become THEM?
You told me a reality I already figured out. Now I'm telling YOU a reality, THEY better learn that we don't care about 'optics' or 'images'. Because we are real people, who care deeply about justice.
I'm not blaming you for the 'way things are'. Karl Rove already told us years ago, how 'things are'. But we, back then, thought he was a psychopath and that if we elected decent people, we would prove him wrong.
But, as you say, that never happened. Yet.
