Lefty Parties Celebrate Victory in GermanyPosted on May 9, 2010
Angela Merkel has reason to make the Bush-back-rub face: Her ruling coalition just suffered a major loss in a regional election with national implications. The Green Party, the Left Party and, by extension, the Social Democrats were all big winners.

Obama is not “constrained by militarism,” he is war criminal who should be prosecuted at the Hague. He is also a corporatist.

One is seeing anti war and anti american policy
votes. It is tragic that Obama is constrained by
militarism. Militarism is America’s fatal flaw.
I am gaining hope again at least.
No hope from my countries policy and
elections but hope from what is happening
elsewhere in other parts of the world.

How to have electoral victories on the left?
No one in America seems to know how, so maybe we can learn something?
First, it appears that you need actual lefty parties and candidates? Real ones that actually try to win instead of just running to make some personal point.
Secondly, people have to actually vote for the lefty parties and candidates?
That’s a shock. In America the left believes that you win elections by not forming serious lefty parties, not running serious lefty candidates, and then voting for the candidates who take millions of Wall Street money and oppose every idea the left believes in.
Who’d have thought that voting for a candidate that said he’d continue the wars, bailout Wall Street, pass a corporate friendly health insurance bill and expand the military would result in a government that continues the wars, bails out Wall Street, passed a corporate friendly health insurance bill and expanded the military.
But, all that Wall Street money made the candidate look so cool while he told everyone that this is what he would do.
Who’d have thought that you’d have to actually work for, vote for and elect a lefty candidate or party in order for the left to have an electoral victory? Never would have guessed that!
