Dear MoveOn, you keep sending me e-mails with rousing themes like "Our democracy isn't working," wanly complaining about the policies coming from both major parties.

Which are you going to do?

a) Use your mailing list to facilitate a timely and effective primary challenge to Barack Obama
b) Use your mailing list to encourage left-of-center voters to support the Green Party or other lefty emerging party
c) Use your mailing list to foster a meaningful restructuring of the American political system (Note: social-networking up a toothless "Contract for the American Dream" ≠ meaningful restructuring)
d) Use your mailing list to support Obama's re-election
e) Fuck off

Progressives are mad as hell

Progressives are mad as hell and they're not going to take Ir any more  . . . 

Without some serious grumbling verging on hand wringing.

I also responded to Mr. Jones with your rubric, but I said he could combine "c" and "d" if he wanted to make it even simpler.

Actually

I said combine "d" and "e."

But "c," "d" and "e" can all go together as well.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
