Robin Koerner: There Is No Left Left

Quote:
...the only anti-war movement with any visibility, political influence, savvy and momentum is around a white, male, Republican, American septuagenarian: in other words, the most politically active peace movement in the western world has coalesced around exactly the kind of person who, on paper, should be starting wars.
Quote:
...the Democratic party now oversees arguably the greatest transfer of wealth to those few that the USA has seen in generations, and to make sure it goes smoothly, it has a few of those few installed in some of the most important public positions in the country, including in the central bank and even the Treasury.
Quote:
The American Left has extended the Patriot Act and brought us the National Defense Authorization Act. It is militarizing the homeland. Even as it tries to give us easier access to contraception, it forgets that someone who is indefinitely detained without trial probably won't have much use for it.
Robin Koerner is spot-on. There is no true Left anymore. R.I.P.

I thought this was obvious. I thought everyone knew Obama is just center-right, with the republicans being right-right/insane. There are a few politicians scattered around that are more liberal, but they're a minority.

Yep, this has been said by many. The right has moved so far right that they are just out their. The left has had to move to the center and behave more like the "right" of the 70s/80s.

They gave up their integrity and honesty the minute obama was sworn in. All of a sudden, they stopped caring about the things they used to rail about.

What's the difference between left and right? Beats me, shrug.

Good. We don't need a left-wing democratic party, we need a moderate democratic party to tide us over while the GOP goes through it's little ignorant revolution.
