  • The main problem, IMHO, has two facets: (1) the Dems seem unable to muster the courage, will, self-sacrifice, or what-have-you, to rebalance wealth in this country such that Joe Average has a fighting chance at the same life Gramps had (a car, a house, sending the kids to college, etc.); (2) the American voter tends to be dumber than dogshit, and the dems refuse to see it. Therefore, they can’t develop a message that is digestible by the masses, nor a messenger who is enough the showman to entertain the crowd. I think we’re fucked until the Dems can address these issues. My confidence is quite low. What I see coming down the pike is ever increasing socioeconomic stratification, the logical endpoint of which is some break-point event that leads to societal upheaval and a restructuring of the American system. We are headed for crisis. When exactly we’ll get there, I don’t know. It took roughly my lifetime so far for shit to get this fucked (I’m mid 40s), I don’t give us another 40 years before some bad shit happens.
