They also have NEVER ever formulated any plan forward for anything.
With this one sentence, you have really gotten to the gritty nub of the issue. The TRUE meat of the matter.
When you see the incessant whiners begin their orgies of misery and despair, pay attention. Inevitably someone will ALWAYS ask "who do you guys think could give you what it is that you want?" Oh, the sputtering that will commence! The stammering!! The hemming and hawing!
And then they will begin to toss out names. "Alan Grayson/Dennis Kucinich/Howard Dean other (mostly white) politician that may have some great convictions on certain issues but couldn't win the presidency of their local Dairy Queen because they are viewed as too liberal/communist/anti-American for large swaths of the voting public."
Then the desperation kicks in and you'll hear the most face-palm inducing names that makes you question these people's sanity. "Matt Damon!"
"Ashley Judd!"
I'm just waiting to hear "Brian from Family Guy."
As you said, politics is ONLY about what is and is not possible. I mean, for people that practically break their arms patting themselves on the back with how "informed" and "knowledgeable" they are, many of them are in fact, incredibly stupid.
I hear what you're saying about the believing 100% and I respect that. I don't share your opinion but I do understand where you're coming from.
