This diary is a combination of a couple of comments that I have made while discussing the "collapse" of the war funding resistance.
Here is the deal:
You give up and go away, they win. That is what they want you to do. They LOVE controlling the agenda in both parties. If you leave, they get to keep pretending to be an "opposition party." You can only change that if you can take back control of the Democratic Party. The corporatist single party folks CONTROL both parties right now. There are some signs of life in the netroots of the Democratic Party, and the DNC, but they are weak,and need to be fed and watered and nourished mightily, as the Lieberman victory pointed out.
We need to keep fighting the corporatists for every house seat, every senate seat, every precinct chair, every state executive committee member, every county chair, every party chair until we take back our party, just like the Right Wing religious folks did in the Republican Party.
Join me on the flip side for why the Third Party way won't work...
