Don't think I said that was all that you do. But you were engaged in
it, which is what I was questioning. And wouldn't blaming that guy in
the white house as the source of the problem also be a sort of blaming
the individual for a social/political issue?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think that you have to tell people here that. Doesn't this
feed into the problem that you outline below?

You say that and you post the stuff about how stupid and evil the
right is. Don't those kind of counteract each other? Are they
stupid, evil and scary or is their portrayal as such enabling the dems
to do nothing? Can't really be both. I agree that it is the real
issue, but I guess I see a different strategy. One that is less
contradictory.

Yes, they are running everything. Not the TP or the Republicans but
the whole two parties of capital. We have to do everything we can to
break these two parties into pieces. Talk about how one party is full
of loony idiots acts to make the other seem as some sort of vehicle
for the left. It isn't and won't ever be.
