It seems the Left is missing a uniting goal, we are anti all that right wing stuff but we don't know what we're pro about. What if the Left had a clear agenda, reducing interest rates and crippling bank charges for the poor. If the Left put all those wonderful minds together to find a way of motivating and creating an attack on the banks/credit card companies we could attract many people sick of this usurious system, form the basis of a new popular movement. We could be attacking the system at it's roots and at the same time be building a viable alternative third party or am i off on a tangent here
