How do you participate on this site?

[TBF]

4. I have been overwhelmed by the support for Bernie here ~

make no mistake ~ he is not a revolutionary. In fact I have serious qualms about trying to elect someone who could very well be the next FDR. Yes, some see that as a huge plus but I can't help but have mixed feelings because it will only drag on this farce that is capitalism.

The way I participate is to bring things I think can provoke thought and perhaps encourage the folks who are already there with me to continue to fight. I know this board really does lean quite liberal despite the few loud trolls (including both republicans and third-way democrats in that analysis). I can read EarlG's occasionally commentary (usually through his cartoons) and know that he is a friend. I don't think he is a Marxist by any stretch, but I do think he is a very good person who was completely disgusted with the election of Bush and everything that went along with that. I know he is a caring individual and sees the pain that inept policies cause.

Further, in the tradition of Lenin I can get on board with voting for the least objectionable candidate when I see it can actually help people on a daily basis (ie their checks won't suddenly be cut off & leave them without food and shelter).

As I say all this I know I can do it while I still rally for unions and the day we can overthrow this ridiculous economic system that only benefits the lucky few that are able to claw themselves to the top. And that remains my top priority as an activist.
