The Democratic Party that I support....

[Dustlawyer]

25. I agree that's what "The Party" stands for, and so do I, but

I am awful tired of the reality of the corporate Democrats selling us out. When is the last time we mounted a serious challenge at real campaign finance reform? I look at that list and see several things we stand for that we have lost, or losing, and some not being addressed at all. I see a majority of Democrats want to keep the money flowing. I believe that because they haven't done anything substantive to address Citizens United for one thing. Why the hell not? I know Boner and the Rethugs would stop anything of the sort, but why do so few Democrats really tell it like it is? I love Bernie and Elizebeth and several others, but still a minority of the Democratic politicians are willing to lay it out. Sure we have some true Democrats, you know who they are, but too many are socially Liberal and fiscally conservative (answers to Wall Street)!
What we really need, all we really need to be focused on getting rid of the corporate cash, Lobbyists, and all other types of "Influence Peddlers!" We need complete campaign finance reform and publicly funded elections. To do that it has to start at the grass roots level like OWS, but only focus on getting as much money out of politics as possible. If we could do this, I bet we would significantly raise our batting average on how we are doing on the things we stand for, I'm just sayin.
