I’m a radical, but... I want to be on the left wing of the possible." <br /><br />I haven't voted for President without holding my nose a single time in my whole voting life since the mid 80s. I cried with relief when Obama beat McCain, but that doesn't mean I expected Obama to run to the left of his campaign and a President would have to sound and act like Bernie Sanders -- that is to say, far to Obama's left -- before I could vote for her without holding my nose.Dale Carricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811055279887722298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-1208849274633574272011-03-11T09:15:01.725-08:002011-03-11T09:15:01.725-08:00Dale, you get accused of being negative a lot, but...Dale, you get accused of being negative a lot, but on some things, you're a real Mr. Positive. For example, you really seem to believe in the ability of representative democracy to equalize wealth across socioeconomic classes. Pardon me, but a century's worth of evidence here and in Europe indicates otherwise. And it's no wonder, since representative democracy was really never meant to do such a thing in the first place. <br /><br />But since you basically agree that the gaps are there, and they're getting wider (even with Obama in the White House) I don't really have much more to say about it.<br /><br />Except to say, I'll wind up voting for Obama again. But I'll really have to hold my nose when I do.
