So the answer to my question is that you don't ever realize that you keep following the pro-corporate DLC plan to keep moving the government to the right, over and over again, even after Democrats had the largest majority in Congress in decades and held the White House and refused to use that power to reverse the past 40 years of deregulation-privatization that has destroyed this nation, even given the crisis opportunity that leaders have taken advantage of (and concocted) since the beginning of civilization.
You speak of "reality". The truth is that "reality" is what you make it, and never has that been more evident than when Americans have looked to achieve the impossible. Allies winning against the Nazi war machine was a pipe-dream until Lend-Lease and the Manhattan project became reality. Splitting the atom. Going to the moon ("in 10 years" yet) was a leap of faith which Kennedy made it a reality. Irrigating the whole of western America by controlling a river, while simultaneously generating enough electric power to pay for it all and power cities was unfathomable, but we did just that when we built the Hoover Dam.
We have never been people who settle for what's do-able, and Obama has set the bar pretty low for what's "do-able" -- And all in the wrong direction.
