(4,775 posts)for a mook. Didn't know that term, had to look it up, it's in the poster's sig. I'm also a mook, at least that poster would probably think so.
I don't get how he/she thinks the poor and downtrodden have no skin in the game. Seems to me their skin is about all they have, and it's completely at risk of starvation, imprisonment, or being locked into hopeless unrewarding work for sub-poverty wages until the financial gods see fit to foreclose on their unfortunate existence.
The poor are instructed to vote Dem and stay out of it, let the wealthy make the plans for the rest of us, see you at election time. That pretty much sums up the disdain the corporate Dems and most of the party leadership have for the people they claim to represent, thanks to that poster for making it so obvious, they're usually better at hiding it.
