We have 3 parties. Dems, Reps and Centrists. I'm happy to be with the Dems.

Thanks to Bernie for making it clear what our Dem party is all about and how separate it is from the Centrists.

1. I think the more accurate term is "Corporatists"

And they make up the majority of CONgress. Nothing centrist about them, their goal is to maximize profits for their pimps.

9. This needs to be an OP. Seriously, this is what it's all about, from the MIC on down.

And I am glad that OWS is what helped us to formulate this. Or at least that is how it was for me.

[Enthusiast]

10. Me too. IMO Fascist would also be appropriate.

2. K&R!

And agree with the first reply. Corporatist.

4. I am whatever Bernie is. I had left the democratic party after the omnibus bill

but when Bernie announced for sure he was running as a Democrat I went to the DMV and switched back to a Democrat so I can support him for President . AB, win or lose or draw, I will switch back to unaffiliated. After over 40 years as a yellow dog democrat it's not my party anymore.

7. Yes, the dems are not close to what my father worked for with FDR

There is a lot of rhetoric but little action to support the vast majority of this country. Looking back on Clinton, Johnson you see expediency and willingness to deal with big business. Carter may have had more populist views but he was quickly cocooned by the forces of marginalization.

The repugs have stayed reasonably close to their strategies for 60+ years. Eisenhower was a very welcome exception but they've generally stayed a party of the small-minded, fuck-the-commoners.

8. Adding to my prior response: I will not register as a dem or contribute as a dem

Until the party starts to pick up some democratic principals, once again.

I hope Bernie, Elizabeth shakes some sense into these self-satisfied politicos.

I will contribute to individuals, of any party, that carry a banner I approve of and can prove that they live by their creed.

5. 100% Agreed!
