Its like this years election ..I voted for a guy that kept saying speech after speech that "as long as I'm President Social Security will not be cut". Then walla first thing on the table on budget cuts is SS. A Democrat goes to Washington and has all these big ideas, then they take him in a little room and read him the rules and procedures on just how to make it look good to his voters while working for the corporate dictators.
We could change things if we organized a real progressive party or if we could get term limits on Congressional members.
.....And yes I would vote for a progressive independent in a minute...But let me ask. If we could actually pull it off and put a real progressive in the White House just long could he survive.? Don't think the corporate mafia allow him to stay there long.
