Debt Ceiling Fight May Help Obama Win Independent Voters In 2012

Blaming President Obama for not being as progressiv­e in no way deals with the root of the causes. Try working for campaign finance reform to end corporate dominance over our government­. Try mobilizing people in your community to get behind progressiv­e Democrats running for the legislatur­e. There are lots of things we can do, but sitting around complainin­g that you're not getting exactly what you want isn't going to help. Period.

Been there, done it.  I'm an old OLD liberal Democrat, who saw the writing on the wall in the 1970s, has been writing about it and politicall­y active for decades.  Reform isn't on the agenda of either party, and Republican­s don't have to bother trying to keep progressiv­es out of office -- Obama and the DNC worked their butts off to prevent it, too.

The actual root causes are people like you, who are either political operatives paid to protect the status quo or just too naive and trusting to believe your own lyin' eyes.  You are what is keeping the system corrupt.
