Reply #42: If being in the "big tent" means I have to keep moving my sleeping bag farther and farther

[bertman]

toward the fascist, corporatist right, then I might just try sleeping under the stars for a while.

"Whining"? Excuse me, but your ignorance of corporate influence is showing, treestar. We convinced voters to vote. They voted. The party is now backpedaling and the President is doing the opposite of what he campaigned on.

I'm no idealist. If I had been an idealist I would have dropped out of the Democratic party and politics a long time ago. I'm a realist. And now I'm seeing that the reality of my Democratic big-tent party is that it's a centrist party that is more worried about serving the corporations who are its largest donors, than serving the American people.

As far as bucking up and keeping on working, I refuse to work for people who are working at cross purposes to how I feel things should be done. Let them find some other starry-eyed sucker who still refuses to acknowledge the facts that are staring him in the face.
