Reply #10: the democratic party leadership is too dependent on

[nosmokes]

the corporate teat for it to ever get back to truly being a populist party. i honestly believe that the future of progressive politics and ideals is with the the green party. the R's and the D's have been in power for so long now that staying in power is their first concern. who in te democratic has any real ideas these days? kuchinich and waters, and the power structure is gonna make sure they don't get anywhere. the progressive populist movement is going to hafta take a long view, and start looking at local issues and local positions and building a power base from the bottom up, which is what the greens are doing. join in, join up!
