Populist Reform of the Democratic Party

too many will huff and puff and scream and holler but in the end it is just noise and will go along with whatever is served so there is no actual need to change the menu and all the bluster can be safely ignored.

What difference does opposition make if you know exactly where it will fold?

We'll be right back here in four or eight years with an even more right wing Manchurian Trojan Horse but the TeaPubliKlans will have some villains and the window keeps moving.

For fuck's sake! Almost two years out with no nominee and already folks are prefolding, unable to even maintain an illusion to apply a little pressure much less the real knife work required to oust or even weaken the hand of the Turd Way in the party.

The digging is our collective grave and it never stops, we can't move the needle on that much less really change the direction if there is no beachhead to fight from.
Graves are holes to deposit corpses into, no it doesn't matter who is digging my grave because the end is the same a dirt nap.

If the plan from jump is unconditional surrender then what is the purpose of fighting at all, may as well get the transcript of Lanny Davis talking points memorized, swear fealty to Dimon and Blankfein, join PNAC, set up a live stream of your life to the NSA, and join the Rainbow Ronnie coalition full throatedly it seems to me.
What is the practical difference?

The more desperate the situation the more resolved people seem to be to keep doing what caused the desperation.

The false risk aversion of the desperate is so easy to manipulate.
