As Alexander Cockburn says, 2004 has indeed been "the year of surrendering quietly" (<http://www.newleftreview.net/NLR26301.shtml>).
If even leftists like you are to accept that "life doesn't work like that" and that "that's the way it is" -- meaning we can't talk about issues and programs, only support Democratic candidates -- what's the point of engaging in politics, not to mention on the left end of it? Is it any wonder that the majority of Americans are apolitical and that it takes billions of dollars to get a little over half of the voting-age population to vote? -- Yoshie
