Increasingly this is the question I find haunting me. At this point, it is pretty clear that our system is fundamentally broken and that there is little to no possibility of procedural change. By procedural change, I mean change through ordinary political processes where we elect politicians and they enact the right sort of legislation beneficial to the vast majority of Americans. In 2006 we retook the House and Senate, while in 2008 we took the White House. Americans voted for change yet, on the economic front (I am not talking about cultural politics), we've witnessed policies that continue the assault on working and middle class voters, detrimentally effecting people of all races, men, women, children, and so on. We are largely adrift without any representation. So what is to be done?
