Reply #9: I'm not so sure.

I still call myself a Democrat. But I don't see ANYTHING the party is doing that represents me, or any Democrat I know. I see a bunch of assholes who seem far more intent on protecting their campaign contributors than their constituents. Fuck, who the hell ARE their constituents? I doubt they even known. I think Harry and Nancy's constituents are big business. I think Hillary's constituents are defense contractors. None of these people seem to understand the "representative" part of "representative democracy."

I'm beginning to wonder, though, if in fact we aren't all being played. Who is pulling the strings...we can only hear what the media tells us, and the media is part of the fat-cat corporate constituency funding the lying candidates. Maybe their intent is to DIVIDE us, so that we branch off and vote third party, giving them a plausible explanation for a cross-dressing mob lackey like Guiliani to be "elected" to carry on their war against democracy. We mean nothing to any of them. It's all become a game of nest-feathering, let the rest of us eat cake.

So, to answer your question: Are we all Democrats? I don't think anyone knows anymore. We're all FUCKED, I know that much.
