110. I no longer feel aligned with the Democratic party...
Edited on Sun Nov-27-11 12:51 AM by CoffeeCat
Moyers is right. Both parties are aligned with the corporations.

And yes, they all trod out the inflammatory social issues when election time rolls around--just
to get some fear-based votes out of us. And we vote for them, which has only allowed our
country to slip into Fascism.

I'm sorry, but I won't vote for a candidate based on social issues any more--such as being
pro choice. Yes, being pro choice is incredibly important to me. However, we don't
have a country left! We don't have a democracy any more! That's not hyperbole, it's the
truth. Allowing ourselves to vote for a Fascist, corporate kow tower--who doesn't mind if
he is owned by the corporations or is willing to help slide our country into a Fascist
state--is IGNORANT. We are ignorant voters if we sell out like that.

Our spineless, stupid politicians have prostituted themselves to their corporate pimps--who
now own them.

The United States is now a perverted form of democracy and the only way an election is
meaningful in this country--is if we have a candidate who will break the system, restore
our democracy, tell the corporations to go to hell and begin anew. And if we have no
candidate who will do those things--then the answer is not within the political system.

That's the very sad, very difficult-to-grasp truth. Believe me, I go in and out of denial
about it all of the time--because it's so horrible--but it's true.
