(32,139 posts)seems to be the pattern from these people. Corporatists sell products. They don't represent the people.
You see it here, with Obama's choice of Rahm. You see it in the elections, when we are lectured to shut up and not rock the boat rather than demand what candidates stand for. You see it in Obama's comments on NSA, that Americans merely need to be made "comfortable" with spying. And you see it in his disgusting choice of Cass Sunstein, the author of online manipulation and smear campaigns directed against America's own citizens.
It's a twisted version of our system, in which lockstep obedience to the party and some corporate-manufactured illusion of democracy are more important than democracy itself. America won't survive it much longer.
