And you also have the right to do so if they are not meeting your needs. (Starting around 40 seconds in the video.)
Why do Democrats hate winning?
The literally old establishment much prefers the corporate bribes it seems.
Article by Mark Leibovich in The Atlantic. Some clips from their Facebook post follow:
"One recurring resentment among Democratic voters is the disconnect between the party’s red-alert anti-Trump rhetoric and the musty vehicles—Biden and Harris, as well as Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, and the various other dust-gatherers—it keeps deploying to resist him. [...] David Hogg, who served as the co-vice chair of the Democratic National Committee from February to June 2025, told Leibovich that 'you cannot credibly tell the American people that democracy is in danger and the world is ending, and the people that you are putting up on the front lines of fighting back against that genuinely belong in a nursing home.'"
US loses status as liberal democracy
According to Chapter 5 of this report by the V-Dem Institute. We the people feel this everyday and know it in our bones. Here are the facts to support it.
"Under Trump’s presidency, the level of democracy in the USA has fallen back to the same level as in 1965. Yet the situation is fundamentally different than during the Civil Rights era. In 2025, the derailment of democracy is marked by executive overreach undermining the rule of law, along with far-reaching suppression and intimidation of media and dissenting voices. The speed with which American democracy is currently dismantled is unprecedented in modern history. Legislative Constraints – the worst affected aspect of democracy – is losing one-third of its value in 2025 and reaching its lowest point in over 100 years. Civil Rights and Equality before the Law are also rapidly declining, falling to late 1960s levels. Freedom of Expression is now at its lowest level since the end of WWII."
Songs, lyrics, poems and other writing/media
Here are about a dozen songs I've recorded at YouTube.* And this link is to my lyrics and poems folder at Google docs, mostly from my 20s and 30s but some later. My human potential satire is here from my time in bodywork school in San Diego in the mid 80s. The first iteration of my blog from Oct. 2010 to Oct. 2020 is here. My unfinished novel The Adventures of Ed the Head is here. And some short stories are here. I also have a few published academic articles here. Here are my Integral World articles. My interview at Integral Stage on hier(an)archical synplexity is here. My interview with Growing Down Podcast on how our models get in the way is here. The Integral Stage series, The Fantastic Four Quad Rants, in which I participated with Bruce Alderman, Layman Pascal and Brent Cooper is here. Also see my voluminous contributions to the Integral Postmetaphysical Spirituality forums at Ning and Facebook. My Facebook page is here. The old Open Integral blog is here. Some of the posts from 2007 - 2010 can be found here on the Wayback Machine. Some posts from the old Integral Postmetaphysical Spirituality Gaia forum can be found here and here. I was also a contributor to the Albuquerque Brain, Mind and AI forum here.
* I recorded these recently, long after I wrote and sang them. Back then I had a decent singing voice but now it is shot and sucks. I also recorded them on cheap equipment and know the sound quality also sucks. I am though still proud of the lyrics. I just wanted to get them recorded before it's too late. Maybe someday good musicians and singers will appreciate a few and do them up right.
PS: Same goes for my writings, many of which were from a period I no longer identify with. But that was definitely me at the time. And if you think people cannot change, that likely applies to you instead of others.
