I really hate what my country is becoming and I want to change it but at the same time I have more important things to worry about like where my booze is coming from and if I should take the over under on the game on saturday. At the same time though we hafto ask ourselves when we stop pleasuring ourselves and start pleasuring others. My friends my family are all suckered into buzzwords and issues that really don't matter. We cant keep going on like this you know that...I mean unless you like socialism and debt with an oligarchy at the top. America is losing what once made it the greatest country ever created As I sit here and watch us descend into mediocrity and classism I just get sad
I am totally unsure as to whether you're saying you're leaning more Dem or Rep Strike, but I can say that we on the left very much feel this way too. Only thing really is, we feel like this "descent into mediocrity and classism" has pretty much been going on for a long time now. The last 8 years are pretty emphasized, but it's not just that. The moving our our manufacturing overseas pretty much spelled out bad stuff for us. Imagine us talking about issues with a balanced deficit.... things would be way different. I hate the feeling of so much debt hanging over us, and also the feeling like we can't do so many great things because of it.
