Reply #18: Yes, but the question is, does it matter?

The same dynamics still exist today that have for some time.

The people, or the "corperate persons" who have the money want more, and they are willing to pay for it. They are willing buy politicians, the media and whatever else thay can to get it. Politicians from both sides realize this.

Your average Joe may be ticked, but where does he get his info? Perhaps that ultimately is the very thing that is bought and payed for by the well monied.

We on DU are more aware of what is going on and less susceptible to this kind of manipulation, but "our message" is largely unheard, and when we are, does it matter when both sides are largely already bought off?

For the average Joe to win people need to see the Dems as their ally. The Dems need money and a voice to do this. These two go against each other as far at the monied are concerned.
