(32,139 posts)He ran on representing the 99 percent, but the record shows relentless, proactive, and aggressive effort on behalf of corporate interests rather than the interests of the people.
The comments trying to suggest that obstructionism is the real problem here are flatly, relentlessly contradicted by reality and this administration's own actions: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=3202395. We constantly deal here at DU with a propaganda brigade that misrepresents the actual goals and behavior of this administration.
It's time to face reality: that the problem of corporate money in politics now infests and corrupts both parties. We have a *systemic* problem of corporate money driving policy and behavior of our politicians AGAINST THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

They are not centrists. They are corporate fascists who have infiltrated and taken control of both political parties. They have trampled the Constitution, turned the United States of America into a surveillance state, militarized our police forces, and created a nascent police state. They persecute whistleblowers and criminalize dissent. They strangle investigative journalism and create a propaganda machine to take its place. They are subverting our democratic, representative government and our Constitution to serve the interests of the wealthy elite, and they are working to turn the rest of us into wage slaves. They are profiting from bloody, undeclared wars; surveillance systems; private prisons; exploitative control of our health care and education; subversion of democratic sovereignty through "trade policy"; and privatization of every resource we have.
They are a menace to our representative government, our Constitution, and our freedom. Pretending that they are part of the normal representative governmental process, merely "centrists," is to vastly euphemize the cancer they really are.
