as far the video goes though……. TOZ!

Qui, also well said. Many live as if it is only the leaders who lead. Lazy man’s democracy.

It shows exactly the kind of nonsense everyone’s supposed to be supporting. Enough to make one believe that the overly educated are really not that smart.

But that’s okay. “If Obama betrays us, we’ll vote Republican next time!”

How about, instead of the call to play ping-pong between Republicans and Democrats every four years, we hear a call to spend our energies on imagining and creating better ways to live — ways that entail true democracy and collective decision-making. Ways that do not rely on “leaders” to partake in the impossibility of “representation.” Ways that encourage us to do politics every day — not once every two or four years.

The current system is whack. Asking that everyone participate in it is not going to change it any. On the contrary, it’s why it continues to exist as our only thinkable “solution.”
