I do wish the people of Wisconsin well in their effort to rid themselves of Scott Walker, but there are some lessons here that the left needs to learn: 1) The Democratic Party has done next to nothing to help this effort because they aren't interested in working people, they are interested in gaining power in DC. 2) The idea that the power of the people and of organized labor should be directed into Democratic Party politics is a failed strategy and will remain so. 3) Elections post-Citizens-United are dominated by money, not ideas, and neither party has any intention of changing that since they both benefit from the corruption of our political process. Again what we have in Wisconsin is essentially a race between a Republican and someone whose main asset is that they are not a Republican. We are fighting for scraps from the 1%'s table instead of fighting for a new economic and political system ruled by the 99% and designed to benefit all the people.
