What if Democraps win?
Where are we going?
To somewhere that really matters?
That depends on where you think our nation should go. What problems do you want solved and what policy and political reforms do you think are critically needed?

Lately, the Dems talk about a "new direction."
To where?
To the Promised Land?
Where exactly are they promising to take us?
That logically should result from a sincere rejection of our current system.
Can they reject their system?
Or, is their new direction likely to be nothing more than a sleazy political U-turn?

Are they going to take us to a democracy-land free of corruption by corporate and other special interests?
On the other side will the Dems take us out of the insane pre-emptive Iraq war that is wasting American lives and treasure?
Will that new destination include vigorously protecting our borders from illegal immigrants and terrorists?
Once we cross over will we finally see a true overhaul of our tax system that works in favor of economic justice and equality, where the rich no longer get favored treatment? Once there will they impeach – or better yet, prosecute – G.W. Bush and his accomplices for mass criminally negligent homicide? Will they restore honesty and integrity to our constitutional republic?

Ask yourself, when a representative democracy has a rancid electoral system and only two superficially competing parties that have a partnership to keep out third-parties does voting make sense?
With no true path to a better society and government, is voting justified?
Is it that much different than voting for dictators in countries without any credible democratic government?

Does replacing Republicrook political hacks
with Democrap political hacks justify participation in a fake and delusional democracy?
Will winning Dems move closer to progressives?

let me warn the non voters who are the majority in USA
BUSH was elected with 23 percent of the eligible voters in 2004
Your electoral system is rotten to the core.
Organized by
Christian
compassante
corrupt
criminal
club.( supported by corporate lobby)

Seek Democracy elsewhere but not in USA.
In the name of democracy, decency, decorum USA had butchered tortured many.
Of course some intellectual in A2K will repudiate my critical views in the name of the holy education.

A great democracy offers citizens sharp political choices.
That's what gives political freedom meaning.
With two-party control of America's political system, political options and discourse are stifled.
We badly need more visible third-parties that can fully participate and reach the public with information about their platforms and candidates.
In a nation that so worships competition it is hypocritical that there is so little political competition.

I am an existentialist. I subscribe to no organized ideology or religion as they are all currupted by the will of their leaders.
