(7,018 posts)the big banks come under the term "moderate" in your definition of the word, that's fine with me.
I'm very happy with her being moderate.
I am very glad she's not afraid of bucking the senate seniority system. Someone like Sen. Feinstein
should have been retired long ago.
I agree with you that large numbers of the voting masses know little or nothing about the people
running for office. They vote according to the way their families have always voted. The Independents
are the ones who are more likely to make up their own minds. Only a relatively small percentage of
the rest choose carefully for whom they vote. If it weren't for the large numbers of ignorant people,
the Corporatists wouldn't have been so successful with their propaganda and lies in the first place.
The so-called "Republicans" in power today are not even Republicans. They're mainly made up of
Corporatists and the Neo-cons who joined the Republican Party some 40 or so years ago, climbed
their way up within the party, usurped the power of the old-timer Republican leaders, and were smart
enough to keep the Republican name, so as not to lose the Republican masses who are not even aware
that a coup had taken place within their party. They still think they are "voting Republican." Still later
these were joined by the Libertarians, and lately also by the Tea Partiers. Yes, these 4 groups would
love to make life miserable for any president who is not one of their own.
By "new blood" I mean someone who is not pre-approved by the Democratic Establishment. I think
the Democratic Establishment has already out-lived its usefulness. They are becoming more and
more like the Corporatists who influence them with money.
Have you read or heard that many foreign nations think of our USA as the most corrupt country in the
world? Not a pretty reputation. Of late, too many sociopaths are getting into positions of power, both in
government and in private industry. Sociopaths are people with criminal personalities. The smart ones
know how not to get caught. With such people ruling us, what else can happen to our nation but go
down the gutter? That's why we need to get rid of the Establishment people on both sides of the aisle,
and try to get new blood in.
