I have been politically unaffiliated for a long time. It isn't that I don't believe in combining my efforts with others, but my political thinking means that I am critical of the Democratic Party, and I find most left organizations to be irrelevant to the current struggles. Right now, the Democratic political organization is in disarray in state after state, and the congressional leadership has little relationship to the grass roots of the party. But I came across the Progressive Democrats on the web, and it looks a good effort, with good leadership and a rational strategy.
The Progressive Democrats say this about themselves: "We believe that the greatest need of our nation is to redirect the resources of our government from destruction to creation, from war to peace, from military spending to social spending, from sickness to health, from selfish desires to universal needs. The future of humanity and our planet are at stake.
The question is, "What is the most effective strategy for wresting control of the government of the United States of America from the moneyed interests, the corporations, and the military industrial complex that now effectively control it?"
The answer is NOT leaving the country.
The answer is NOT the Republican Party.
And the answer is NOT the Democratic Party as it is now organized and controlled.
The answer is PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS of AMERICA.
