He should be compared to Theodore Roosevelt as a “PROGRESSIVE” who was surely not perfect!

cassiodorus commented on the blog post Obama’s Swing State Lead Drops to Near Tie
It would be nice if, upon a Romney victory, the “progressives” would give up on the Elmer Fudd Theory of Electoral Victory and hold their party accountable when it screws up.
But I’m not holding my breath.

cassiodorus commented on the blog post Occupy Doesn’t Need to Get With the Vote
It is appropriate for Harkinson and other writers like him to be concerned about whether Occupy will fizzle out, but they must not ignore why it is likely that Occupy will fizzle out. The power elites have done everything to not respond to this movement since its early days.
Occupy has dwindled substantially since 2011 because before the evictions it was full of people who thought the purpose of Occupy was to get the attention of the political classes, rather than to form a new society within the shell of the old. Those people have since decided to move on to moveon.org and other Democratic Party front organizations. And for the most part the folks who gave up on Occupy still don’t have the political classes’ attention.

“Progressives” are really conservatives:

That sounds about right.

Are there really any liberal groups anymore? See Jane Hamsher’s stuff on the “Veal Pen”…

If Obama is attacking the Ryan Budget, that looks pretty good for the Ryan Budget.

I thought Obama was the One True Leftist — didn’t he invoke Gandhi and King in a recent speech?

Why should the Republicans vote for one of their own when they can vote for the real Republican in the White House?

cassiodorus commented on the blog post Certainly not in a room full of mirrors
Fortunately for him, nobody listening to talk radio has to see Limbaugh’s nose hairs. This is like the cause celebre now at DailyKos.com, the humorous pastime of good liberals living on a planet about to be consumed in global warming.

cassiodorus commented on the blog post Kucinich, Squeezed Out By Redistricting, Loses Primary to Kaptur in Ohio
Maybe at some point the “liberals” will get the point, and realize that the whole of the political class is against them. Their near-unanimous support of ten years of austerity planning last year should have been the wake-up call. Never mind Kucinich’s capitulation on the PPACA. Kucinich’s departure from Congress will remove someone from Congress we can pretend is “on our side.”

cassiodorus commented on the blog post Greek Bailout Deal, With More Austerity, Poised to Pass Parliament Amid Riots
Since the problem of Greek indebtedness is only exacerbated by austerity planning, there will have to be another renegotiation after this one. By then the deserters from existing parties will have formed a party of their own.

cassiodorus wrote a new diary post: The 1%ers and the future
Crossposted at Docudharma.com Yeah, I know, it’s 2012, and we are about to be deluged with a hailstorm of appeals to the Elmer Fudd Theory of Electoral Victory in the run-up to November’s elections. Happy new year, everyone; I intend in this diary to summarize the likely events that can be seen as “coming down the pipeline” [...]

cassiodorus commented on the diary post Should Progressives Boycott The Presidential Elections? by terridi.
Vote or don’t vote — it won’t make a difference either way. You can participate in “symbolic not-voting” while at the same time voting. Whatever.
If we’re going to talk direct action, let’s talk something more serious, like occupying foreclosed properties or building community gardens.
