Neither are all the good people trying to stop Wall Street from installing in *our* government more puppets for predatory corporatism, secret government, secret laws, secret courts, antidemocratic "trade" deals that allow corporations to overrule democratic laws and protections, government-corporate espionage, mass surveillance, "kill lists," indefinite detention, intimidation of journalists, brutal suppression of protest and political dissent, assaults on fundamental Constitutional protections, militarized police, massive private prison industries, persecution of whistleblowing, and the security state.
Corporatism in the Democratic Party was never a grass roots phenomenon. It is and has always been a deliberate, corporate-bankrolled infiltration into the party, with the goal of shifting party interests from the people to the banks. So is the vile propaganda on behalf of it.
And, yes, this vicious corruption, which used to live in one party but now lives in two, is pushing us into fascism.
When the DLC connections to the Koch Bros. became well known, they just rebranded the infiltration
