Default US needs a political revolution...
This is an old article but I found it to be quite moving. It is by congressman Bernie Sanders and it is in regards to the fledgling state of American politics and the revolution that is needed to revitalize our democracy and nation:

The problem is that their is way too much apathy among the citizens of this country for a revolution to occur. Things will have to get much worse than they are now in order for people to come together and demand change.

The libertarian grassroots movement is gaining moment. People won't be apathetic forever.

I agree with Bernie Sanders. It says a lot that an open democratic socialist can be elected to the Senate. I hope we see more Bernie Sanders in office. Then his message may he some ears to fall upon.

From my favorite president:

Revolution will never happen. The politicians would use all force to stop that from happening. If any politicion in this country cared about the citizens as a whole they would do what the majority wanted them to do and not what they wanted to do.

There will be a fight, one that the american public is not an never will be prepared for.

Only if this were a democracy, which it isn't, so that (thankfully) will never happen.

"Democratic socialism" can anyone say oxymoron? Sorry but I am not to keen on this new "revolution". Which would require us as citizens to give up freedoms for the illusion of security.

Let me get this straight. All you anti-gun people want to have a revolution? With what, squirt guns? Many of you don't even have the stomach for a war people volunteered to fight and would like to stay and win.

Students at VT stood still and waited their turn to get shot. If people can't even put up a fight when their lives are at stake, what makes you think they have the stomach for a revolution?

If you ever mustered the courage to even try something like that, you would quickly find out that there are people just waiting for that day. I don't believe if we had a regime change in this country, it would move towards a more politically correct nation.

Straw man. Pro-gun control is not the same as anti-gun. Also, I distinctly remember MLK winning his revolution by preaching a message of non-violence.

Engaging in a war is easy. Falling back on peace is a true challenge.

Actually, it's redundant.
