General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: The Ocean Is Coming [View all]Thank you for some TRUTH Will.
DU used to be all about truth, transparency in politics, education, environment, etc.
Of course that was when shrub was POTUS.
Now that a democrat is POTUS, THE PARTY is all that matters. Obama (who I worked hard to get elected, initially) has taken the worse of bushs' mandates and doubled down on them.
Obama was a great candidate, promising sanity and transparency. After elected, it was another bush term, maybe even worse.
Party no longer matters when 90% of "our" leaders are corporatists, achieving millionaire status before or shortly after being elected.
DU'ers used to see through the bullshit and pay attention to actions.
Austerity under a repub? No way. Under a proposed democrat? great to many.
Thank you Will, as an FDR Democrat whose party disappeared, I agree with your assessment 100%.
