(10,622 posts)I am very concerned with the company he keeps, the Third Way crowd are almost Identical to Republicans on fiscal matters, they definitely work for the banks.
I do not know what other options are available to us at this time, I do know this is the last election I will support my party unless it stops behaving like the Republican party of the early nineties.
I did not vote for Republicans in the nineties and I feel a bit like an idiot for voting for much of what they championed then, only now under my parties flag.
If the Democratic party does not head back in the direction it has veered away from the past couple decades, it will no longer be my party, hell, it is too right wing for me now and I was considered a moderate in the 70's (my views are the same, but they call it fringe now)
This is the last chance I give them before admitting we have no option but the long road it would take to get a third party going in strength. A labor party that incorporates socialism like Democrats used to, to work for the average American (and the poor, that are ignored or vilified now) a replacement for what we have lost in our own party.
