Yes, we can

Forse deluderò some friend probably much harder and more pure than I, but the primaries that are going on in the U.S. these days, especially in the areas of democracy, do not leave me completely indifferent.
anticipates some objections: it is a struggle within the system, one or the other is the same, the worse the better it will exacerbate the contradictions, and so on.
For me it is not.
Assuming that a Democratic victory is obviously far preferable to a Republican (not the same, just to name a few, if he becomes President of the State world's most powerful warlord or another one who wants to change but the foreign policy of his country less sense interventionist, someone who wants to leave unchanged the shameful American legislation concerning health or someone who wants to try to change it, one for the millions of homeless are just a statistic or fact as a folk or someone who wants to give more dignity to the citizens ) openly declare my sympathy for Obama, despite being aware of its limitations.
For people like me remember, in fact, even the struggles of African Americans in the '60s to get the most basic rights of equality (in the nation, widely considered the champion of democracy!), Such as attending any school bus or sit in without having to give up her seat to a white or enter a public place senza essere allontanati, l'idea di un Presidente progressista di colore, a costo di essere accusato di razzismo alla rovescia, non può non piacere veramernte molto.
Piuttosto più confuse sono invece le mie idee per quanto riguarda il nostro Paese in riferimento alle prossime elezioni legislative: che dobbiamo fare?
Ho già ricevuto da un amico l' invito ad una campagna di annullamento della scheda elettorale per dare un forte segnale di protesta contro il sistema politico e devo dire che l'idea ha una qualche suggestione, soprattutto a seguito delle cocenti delusioni patite nell'ultimo biennio.
Ma in fondo in fondo non sono convinto: l'idea di ridare per altri cinque anni (se tutto va bene!), passivamente e senza no attempt or evidence to oppose the leadership of the country to the "president-worker," his party-company and equipment of his lawyers, with the usual story of conflicts of interest and the laws "ad personam" and above the usual anti-popular policy, I think that goes beyond any possibility of my mental strength.
On the other hand, the idea of \u200b\u200b"cannibal" by Veltroni to counter the inevitable by just running it seems to me not only will lose but even suicidal because of the fact obviates not only vote for the most antagonistic factions, but also for his own party!
Sorry for the lack of clarity of this post perhaps, but it fully reflects the confusion in my head.
Give me some advice or, if you can not, at least a little 'comfort!!
