Propaganda and money? I'm talking local political involvement and the nuts and bolts of party building. I'm talking the system being used by the people.
Abdication of responsibility is what most Americans suffer from. A republic like ours depends upon participation of the people.
No excuses. No retreat. No excuses.
Commercials are a lot better way to get to people than door to door salesmanship, money will always win out.
Abdication of responsibility is a human flaw, a flaw exhibited by americans less than any other country or culture in the world but yes the flaw is still there. I always push to have more responsibility put on americans, that's part of being libertarian. But responsibility on americans rather than on gov't.
Listen up: One last time: Local political involvement,
How do you think the 'new' right came about out of the ashes of the Nixon 70s? How did the Christian Evangelicals spring into power? How did Howard Dean supporters and the Obama-bots revive a dying Democratic party?
lesson over. do some real research and you will see, organizing with friends, family and neighbors first will build a powerful base on which to move up the ladder of elective politics. If you can't persuade people who know you best, or can't persuade those who live close by and who share your interests, how the heck do you expect to persuade others in enough numbers to actually effect change or grab a piece of the power?
It's all about power. Power to be heard, power to influence, power to do whatever it is you desire.

No, a team gains power by means of which team was the most recent to fuck up.
Republicans fucked up from 2001-2007, hence why it became cool to be an Obamabot. Now as Obama is fucking up, people are moving to become republicans again and I bet reps have all the power again in 2016 after the fuck up has been complete.
Has nothing to do with local politics or grass root movements, has to do with people who have short term memories voting for those who fucked up the least recently.
But it is adorable how smart you think you are, by all means keep it up .
