Even as we jokingly vote for the lesser of two Evils, so we happily vote for the slightly less conservative candidate. Or at least the one who campaigns on the more moderate platform. Since, as we have seen, we have little control over their performance once elected.
But as we allow ourselves to be pulled further and further to the Right, we see that we've lost our ability to seriously promote labor candidates. Labor has become a dirty word. Liberal is akin to Communist.
Will we awaken in time to realize that the lesser of anything gets exactly that? The lesser. And we Americans are now getting lesser and lesser. Is this what is called Leveling the Playing Field? Can anyone explain to me why we insist that we can play on the rich man's playing field, with any hope of winning?
We never talk of building a Working Man/Woman's playing field and insisting that Corporate First Class Americans play on it. Have we really become nothing more than the Ruling Classes sheep herd, bleating and blindly following their Pied Pipers?
