Not surprising. If they perform as badly in early 2015 as they did in 2011-2013, we are going to need to organize a coordinated campaign to our elected officials to shake up the leadership. We have to give them a chance...even our most loyal allies were on board voting for the current leadership, so there’s nothing that can be done. Once they screw up, we have to get our hands dirty and enact change. Basically coordinate a 2016 congressional sit-out if they won’t do something. Congress has to get elected every 2 years, and they do respond to constituent action
I'm convinced and have that conviction strengthened by every act of this government that we are no longer a Republic, but a post-Constitutional Fascist Oligarchy with an empowered dictatorship at the Executive.
I think politics and elections as we knew it, is over.
Fixing Washington from within an entire system corrupted for itself, is no longer a viable option. Stopping this tyranny will have to come from OUTSIDE the existing institutions that have been corrupted and via means that are not those that have been perverted to serve the oligarchy.
