Head over to ManEegee's blog and see if you can answer this question posed by blogger DuctapeFatwa (nominated for 2 Koufax Awards this year).
The Democrats may have a lot to offer disillusioned Americans but, with the current state of the economy, a fiercely divided electorate that cannot seem to compromise, the lack of a clear Democratic agenda, the failure to get the message out, the hopelessness and lack of confidence so many feel about their elected representatives, and the continuing propaganda of fear trumpeted daily by Republicans everywhere, the Democrats may offer all they want. The question remains: will they be able to deliver?
Meteor Blades took this discussion one step further when he wondered aloud: "Should the Democrats Win in '06"?
French philosopher, Bernard-Henri Levy, also posed some hard questions in his article: "A Letter to the American Left", published in The Nation magazine last week.
One thing is definite: there are no easy answers.
Sidebar: Who are the great, contemporary American liberal thinkers? Who are the intellectual giants of the American left? Whose philosophy do you admire?
