Well what the fuck is wrong with mob rule? It just depends on which mob. The Dems could have tapped the AFL-CIO, bourgeois feminism, the civil rights establishment, students, and other agitators to put a million in the streets. But they can't do that. If they did that, it'd look like revolution, and the capitalist version of the people's party wouldn't dare do that. That's why the Democrats have to be destroyed.
