I know I just said I wasn't into doing anything political right now, but then I hear some of the dumbest-ass shit...

So the December 17th edition of Democracy Now has Manning Marable and Gore's campaign manager, Donna Brazile, on discussing the future of the Dems. First of all, why the hell is Gore's CM getting any play? Holy freaking crud, they should bannish her to Montana or something. OK...let's see if I can get all this in and make it coherent....

Marable said that the Democratic Party only goes to people of color or poor folks after the decisions have already been made. He also said true progressives shouldn't even worry about the party - that they should form a new kind of "Rainbow Coalition" to work on, among other things, real democratic (small "d") reform. And he mentioned instant runoff voting.

So Amy & Juan (from Democracy Now) keep asking her about this stuff and she's not going near it...babbling on about "I've done this..." and "The party needs to do that..." Not touching on anything Marable said, blaming 2000 on the Supreme Court and 2004 on Kerry yet saying there should be a recount in Ohio...oh...and it was she who lobbied the D party into getting involved in it...even though they are barely.

God damn! If you're a Dem and you seriously think there is hope for this cluster fuck of a party...good luck. You should all jump into Democracy for America and kiss Howard Dean's ass. That's probably the only chance you have.

Jeez.

Oh. And on another note....you can kiss this American Empire goodbye. Of course the corporate media's not touching it, but Russia & China just signed on to do joint military exercises in China. Shheeeee-it.
