(62,325 posts)38. Lol, okay. The problem is the infiltration of the Dem Party by the Third Way.
That was very clever of them actually. They already had one party totally under the control of Wall Street, then they apparently sought out people who were willing to adjust their positions on a few issues known to be important to Liberals, three or four was all they needed to pass as Democrats. This way they were accepted into the 'Big Tent' which they use constantly to excuse their presence in our party.
Once inside, proudly wearing their 'D' buttons instead of an 'R', they began the process of putting forward all the Right Wing, Wall Street and MIC garbage and bingo it worked. Probably way better than even they had imagined.

A good portion of their recovery is due to reneging on debt and currency controls.
