True Democrats don't work to slash Social Security. They don't. Not Ever.

183. True Democrats should support Main St over Wall St.

But that is just an opinion. I feel like we are in uncharted territory. This new America, the new influx of Democrats & self-identifying liberals, who don't seem to feel as strongly about certain issues as those of the past. Things like war, environmental disasters, corporate crime & fighting for the little guy. Putting the needs of the many over the needs of the few.
Things that are very easy to say you are for, but appear to be very hard to prove you are for.
I never really imagined my country heading in the direction it seemingly is. The last few decades, the bulk of my life, I have watched the change. The corporations, Wall St and the willing supporters who have helped them to purchase positions of influence in our govt. One must be subservient to them and their goals in order to even have a voice. All the while our moral compass becomes ever more deadened. More willing to see the side of the large donors in order to fund an election that can do battle against the ever increasing madness that is the GOP. More willing to consider compromises that put the needs of the few over the needs of the many.
And that is frightening. For all of our futures. Thanks Manny for continuing to push hard towards the left. I think our party needs all the help it can find to get it moving in that direction. I think our President wants to move in that direction and I think deep inside, most Democrats do too.
