837. Politically, the goals of the centrist Democrats (DLC New Dems)
are much closer to the Republican (Neocon Republican, not Tea Bag Republican)agenda, than they are to any Traditional Democratic core principles. The centrist Democrats are often anti-Union, pro-corporate over pro-citizen, etc., and with their push to usurp the Democratic Party, the people of this country suffer the loss of an advocate in DC. I can understand that from a Corporate perspective, it is much better to have the two viable political parties in America both be beholden to Corporate interests. That is financially and politically a no brainer. However, when I consider the morality of such a system wherein no viable Political Party serves the will, benefit, or interest of the people, then I believe as a country we have lost much.
