19. K&R-They no longer stand for me. After voting for Democrats since '68,
I realize they have abandoned everything that I supported them for. I see there are proposals for a workers party or a people's party begining to come out of this betrayal by both parties, and I believe the time has come to stop talking and do it.
The Democrats have left us-it is not a matter of us leaving them.

If you work for a living, are middle class, a union member or unemployed, a progressive or leftist, the Democratic Party is not interested in your life or needs-only in your money and vote.

It is time we found a new voice and organize to make ourselves heard.
