I want a Goddamned DEMOCRATIC Party
by MinistryOfTruth


A party that TAXES the richest among us who can most easily afford it.

A party that OPPOSES wars we can NOT win.

A party that PROTECTS consumers and workers over corporate profit.

A party with BALLS, that stands for social and economic justice.

FUCK the bullshit. Let's not mince words, either the Democratic party stands FOR workers and consumers and their interests as citizens or they do not, and then they are just as bought and owned as the Republican Evil Empire is. At that point, Democracy ends, and corporate feudalism is complete. If both parties are pro war, pro tax cuts for the rich, pro austerity level Hoovernomics, pro torture, pro corporate and mostly or wholly owned by the banks, then there is not much choice, let alone an opportunity for true "change". If both parties are trying to trash FDR's "New Deal" then there is no point.

3. Excellent question
Do you want the GOP, or the GOP minus the overt racist homophobic misogynistic xenophobia?

7. Our goddamned DEMOCRATIC party...
...lost the Goddamned election
...because too many of us sat on our Goddamned asses
...instead of Goddamned walking the streets
...telling it how it Goddamned is.

And even then, it ain't Goddamned easy.


Democratic pols are being responsive to what the voters say they want. It may be nonsensical, the numbers may not add up, but that's the heart of Democracy. Doing what the public says they want.

And if you don't like that voters are so Goddamned ignorant, put in the effort to Goddamned change it.
I'm kind of sick of all the Goddamned whining.

- C.D. Proud Member of the Reality Based Community

p.s. On the plus side, even in my extremely conservative neck of the woods, people know they've been conned. Even the ones who voted for the Goddamned Republicans.
