One betrayal too many...
I think to myself: Does Obama thnk only Corporations vote?

I think: He really must or he wouldn't do the things he has done.

From another DU'ers post today (With Robert Scheer in the header)
Space permits only one example, that of General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt, whom Obama selected to head his “Jobs Council of leaders from different industries who are developing a wide range of new ideas to help companies grow and create jobs.” Was that some cruel joke? GE under Immelt has grown and created jobs, but they are abroad rather than in our own troubled country. As a result, by the end of last year, only 134,000 of GE’s workforce of 304,000 were based in the United States; the remainder—and 82 percent of the company’s profit—were sheltered abroad.

If the Democratic Party leaders and most important officials are all only for the rich, and the Republicans are only for the rich, WTF does the avaerage Middle Inocmed voter do?

If the choice is between one: corruption and insider deals, and two: corruption, insider deals and out and out batshit-burn-the-witche-and-gays crazy, I suppose people will vote against the nut jobs.

But for many people, they won't bother. And I am thinking I may be better off simply buying a gun for when the day comes (being a witch) rather than bothering with voting inside a plutocracy, where the machinery is hackable.
