    It’s really something we’ve seen happen dozens of times before in the last few hundred years. These big liberals, these Grand bourgeoisie, the Arch capitalists they just have no real support base. They rely entirely upon convincing leftists and the little liberals, the petite bourgeoisie, to make common cause with them. But they just can’t resist fucking over everybody. They cannot for the life of them resist doing only things that enrich them and their small Cadre of rich friends. Their support base is an inch wide and not even that deep. Liberals just aren’t our friends. At best they’re temporary allies who were always looking to put a knife in our backs. We need our own party.

      We need our own party, but before that can happen we need nationwide elimination of first past the post elections. Or the demise of the Democratic party. I’ll take either but preferably both.
