Welcome to the deep meta tribe. This tribe was created by kafkanada on Daily Kos as a group of writers who share a common tag. We write about the philosophy of the progressive movement and the underlying reasons we believe all Americans benefit when progressives achieve their political goals, even those who do not consider themselves progressives.
For more definition of our origins, check out this blog by kafkanada on Daily Kos in which he formulated our mission:
Please add your ideas to ours as we lead the citizens of the United States out of the wilderness of Reagan's Curse into the Promised Land of the Founding Fathers. Use this tribe to engage in conversations which hold the promise of transforming the current political discussions to the level the Founding Fathers had to achieve behind closed doors for months in the Constitutional Convention.
Engage the discussion and allow it to transform your perspective in proportion to the transformations your ideas enable in the perspective of others. Together, we can reconvene that moment in which the dream we now call America was born, and in so doing, allow her to be reborn anew.

Countdown To No Confidence

In other democratic systems, elections are called when the ruling coalition has lost enough support that a vote of no confidence can be sustained. Our republic is organized differently, but the political reality is that this Government is approaching the same point at which a vote of no confidence would happen in these other systems. In our system, that means we need to prepare for when that point is reached.
The focus on impeachment recently reflects a passonate desire to have the Democratic majority "do the right thing", and impeachment is the only mechanism by which we can recall the Administrative branch -- but we the voters have already recalled the Legislative branch. Instead of focusing on impeachment or other Government remedy, we need to focus on the opportunities, growing daily, of capitalizing on the nearing point of no confidence in this Administration. We need to do this now because the public is going to reach this point in the next few months, and the window of opportunity will be upon us while we are still parsing language if we are not careful.
