Roberto Mangabeira Unger Quote

President Obama must be defeated in the coming election... He has spent trillions of dollars to rescue the moneyed interests and left workers and homeowners to their own devices.... He has delivered the politics of democracy to the rule of money.... Unless he is defeated, there cannot be a contest for the reorientation of the Democratic Party as the vehicle of a progressive alternative in the country... Only a political reversal can allow the voice of Democratic prophesy to speak once again in American life.
