I remember another person who had the audacity to exploit and toss aside people’s hope, and his name is Bill Clinton. Democrats fail time and again when they shirk responsibility and settle for being dealmakers instead of leaders. As important as it is to find common ground and build consensus for change, our situation is so dire we cannot afford any more dealmakers. The people voted for a leader. Anything less risks breaking the hearts of an entire galvanized generation who may then decide it is not worth it to get involved and participate any more.

Jello Biafra Writes An Open Letter To Barack Obama (via southpol)
We have a system of checks and balances to prevent any of the branches from seizing too much power. If Obama refuses to deal with the other two branches, or with anyone else for that matter, he will be a dictator. Maybe that’s what Biafra wants.
(via complicatedshoes)
Yes, but a dictator for the left, so it’s not the same thing.
