The Republicans and Democrats may think they are vying for power, but where the power lies right now is with the 60 to 70 percent that have f-ing had it with the fascist corporatist shit.

Making America a nation we can be proud of is all about building a government that protects our individual rights while providing the public infrastructure and services we choose to provide ourselves.

In the course of our history these fundamental principles are a constant and central to our identity as a nation -- and as a people. And it is with the people that the power resides now.

And people are getting clearer about what they want.

And those wants are quickly becoming demands.

Will we turn things around in one election? No way. The only thing I am sure of is that it will be a hell of a lot less than 40 years.
