Progressive Politics

People like you are we never get any change in this country

LOL. We've had a lot of change. Perhaps your lifetime is too short for you to see that. From my perspective, the change is radical and for the better. It's a long way from what I'd like our country to be, but I'm a socialist and anti-capitalist. I know perfectly well that we will never be everything I hope for and that the plutocracy and the capitalist exploitation we see every day will not be over-thrown overnight... indeed, not in my life time, no matter how much protesting we do. The only way that will ever happen is slow systemic change from the ground level up.

There are 333 million people in the USA and probably as many opinions about what our politics should be. We as a nation disagree constantly over issues big and small and it's the nature of democracy that we compromise, sometimes to the point that nobody gets all of what they want but everyone, hopefully, gets some of what they want. The only thing we can do short of a dictatorship of the proletariat, is to work for the incremental gains toward a more progressive democracy, just has we have been doing for decades. I realize it may not look like it but we've made so much progress.
