Do they represent people or corporations? You can't serve 2 masters.

The last 2 Democratic Presidents came from the Corporate, Moderate, Centrist side.

The Democratic Party is well no longer the Democratic Party I grew up with and we are seeing the results today with the continued erosion of the middle class in America.

People or Corporations which do you support and which should your party support?

Sadly corporations are winning.
