No, I don't think so. We who stand outside the Democratic Party condemn Obama's warpigism and nonchalance on vital social issues, like health care for all, because we hope it will prod all those people in the Democratic Party to fight in their party to get him to stop his warpigism and to do something about the festering sore that is no health care for tens of millions of Americans. It might be futile but it isn't sectarianism. Indeed, the previous arguments were about choosing Obama over Kucinich or Gravel because the O-man was 'electable'--so was Gore, so was Kerry. At least they were right this time--O was electable. Now the question is: is he movable? Are you sure it isn't something you smoked? I see nothing glorious about these times. We have to remember that the parties are not really mass membership parties in a parliamentary system. So the question for the future is still how do we create alternative realities to this miserable warpig two-party system? If there is an ideological component it is in shattering this delusion that working class America has about its religion being the nation and its transcendance being to serve its warpigism.
