(7,541 posts)until it gets the message. The Democratic Party should not be about enabling corporate predators. It should be one hundred percent behind removing all money from the political process. The next Democratic administration should not be just a nicer, friendlier New World Order. It should be about the halting of extra-judicial killings. It should not be about bombing some other country when your presidential popularity drops. It should not be about new trade agreements that allow corporations to disregard trade regulations, wage standards and environmental laws in other countries. It should not be about forcing our ideas and system of government on the rest of the world. It should be about re-establishing Glass-Steagall and cementing it in concrete. It should not be about toppling another country's government so that Exxon can get access to energy resourses. It should be about halting the energy industry from covering this land with fracking wells and oil tar pipelines. It should be about stopping the wholesale privatization of our educational system and other infrastructure.
So my question is are you going to continue squabbling about how one particular senator (who isn't even in the Democratic Party) doesn't agree with your vision of what the Demcratic Party should be? Do you find yourself in agreement with Claire McCaskill or Joe Manchin much? Me either, but they're both Blue Dog Democrats.
Did I vote for HRC? Yes I did. Did I vote for her in the primary? No I did not. Will I vote for either of them next time around? No. I will be voting for Elizabeth Warren. I am a progressive by nature...I am a Democrat only when the Democratic Party pulls it's head out it's ass for more than ten minutes.
