No triangulation. No agreeing that "those on the Left" go too far. No keeping her powder dry. Just The Truth, in Liberal doses.

It is illegal trespass in direct violation of law, and against the express and repeated orders of the authorities. Moreover, these Occupiers are unfocused and unrealistic - they have a laundry list of complaints and demands, they need to have one or ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/MannyGoldstein/174 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 22:46:35 We should have the backs of those elected Democrats who have spoken out against the brutal shooting of Scott Olsen.

And you think our politicians give a flying fuck? Other than figuring out how to scam votes and cash off of it?

Given some time and patience, you will not be ignored. The 99% now know there's a way to break out of irrelevance, and we'll damned well use it to good purpose.

One of the coool things with derivatives is that you can actually win or lose a *lot* more than you bet.

The only reason to touch it is to steal the $2.6 trillion (and growing) Trust Fund for the wealthiest Americans.

Democrats would have swept the 2010 elections, and the Republicans would have been an irrelevance at this point.

We were lied to by candidates, plain and simple.

I continue to be blown away by DUers that link Social Security to the federal debt. I'm even more amazed by elected Democrats who do the same.
