There is another interesting phenomenon, the fragmentation that takes place
among groups. It's exemplified by the discussion taking place between Roger and
David about the two parties, the SWP and the SA. And yesterday, I heard it in a
discussion of a very different set of opposing theories. Michael Peled, who is
an anti Israel, Israeli American was interviewing an Jewish ultra Orthodox
rabbi who is opposed to the existence of Israel. There are Orthodox Jews who
live in, and support Israel and who live in, but do not support Israel as a
Jewish state. And then there are other Jewish people of varying religious
intensities, and some who are secular, who support Israel as a Jewish state and
who oppose Israel as a Jewish state. So along with the fragmented socialists
and fragmented Jews, and the rest of the left, also fragmented, as well as the
Christians, who come in various brands, one might begin to wonder if it is
rational to generalize about any group.

Following the Great Flu Epidemic and the presidency being fumbled by Harding,
Coolidge and Hoover, culminating in the Great Depression, America looked about
herself and discovered, in FDR, a real to goodness, personified Leader! But
after the mess created by Ronald Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and
Clinton's Clone Obama, were followed by a non leader, a madman who is busy
undermining the remnants of our once Great Experience.
In a yet to be written book, to be published in 3020, entitled The Rise and
Fall of the American Corporate Empire, there will be great speculation
regarding what caused this once rugged, self sufficient People to sink, after
fewer than 300 years, into a clutter of small Corporate Nations, overseen by
Tyrants.

Carl,
It's too bad that no one really cares about what the traditional base
of the Democratic Party thinks about what the party's leadership has
done. Well, actually, that's inaccurate. They care enough to have
figured out how to manipulate and control most voters. 3 million
people did vote for Hillary Clinton. The electoral college has not
been abandoned. They chose Joe Biden as a candidate, knowing precisely
who he is and that Democratic voters would be trapped into voting for
him. However, the party isn't as inhumane as the Republican Party.
Their lies are more subtle. When they commit misdeeds, they try to
cover them up. Their social values are more accepting of the
differences among people and of vulnerable populations. They value
education and science I know that many socialists say that there's no
difference between the parties, but what they are really talking about
is that both parties are functioning within the same socio/economic
system, and their leaderships are motivated by the same things, the
need for control and greed. Those are human characteristics which can be
found in religious institutions, political parties, nation states and
individual families.

I've been troubled by the many requests I've been receiving from "My
Democratic Party".
It finally reached the boiling point when a survey to "save the
Quilcene Post Office" could not be accessed by JAWS, no matter how I
tried. Finally I sent a note to the email address that had sent me
the survey. No response. So, in knee jerk reaction, I sent the
following reply to the next request for "support"(dollars)that I received.
Saving our Postal Service is critical to salvaging our democracy, but
all I see is numerous efforts to simply cash in.

To Whom it may Concern:
I am deeply outraged by efforts by the Donald Trumpsters to sabotage
our Great Postal System. I am a long standing member of the
Washington Council of the Blind, and have been attempting to "educate"
some stubborn members who continue to believe the false stories that
flow from Trump's mouth every time he opens it.
I have received several requests to answer a survey. The heading is
the name, "Kelly", and warns me that our Quilcene Post Office will
soon be closing. I have tried answering that survey with no success.
I am totally blind, and I use a screen reader called JAWS. JAWS is
not compatible with the way the survey is set up.
For more than 55 years I have been totally blind. For my entire 85
years, I have been a Radical...and a Progressive Democrat. Until
recently(2012 presidential election)I have stood by the Democratic Party.
By 2012 I knew for certain the lesson I should have learned when Bill
Clinton led the Democratic Party into the Moderate Republican Camp,
trusting more in Wall Street than in Labor Unions and the Working Class. Too
bad.
We now have one party with two heads.
And yet, like an old fire station Dog, I keep rising up when I hear
the alarm, only to be reminded that "my Party" really doesn't want
anything other than my money.
I am an activist without a Cause.
I still remain strongly supportive of our once proud Working Class,
and to the once powerful Labor Unions that the Democratic Party
abandoned. Just like the Democratic Party has failed to come to the
support of the Postal Union and the more than 600,000 Postal Workers.
Rather than reminding Americans that these Postal Workers depend upon
their jobs to support their families, and in effect to defend our
American Way of Life, you turn the spotlight on Donald Trump and his lies.
Turning the spotlight on Donald Trump is exactly how Donald Trump won
the election in 2016. What has happened to that once grand old
democratic party that worked shoulder to shoulder to organize and
promote fair labor, and full participation in this now floundering democracy?
I could go on, but I'm feeling some better now that I've sounded off.
Sorry, I am not wealthy, so can't spare $2.50 for a ten cent cup of coffee.
Since I've spent my entire working career in the rehabilitation field,
working with blind and low vision people, I am not connected to Wall
Street.
