(62,325 posts)who have dragged the only party we have, to the right relentlessly over the past nearly two decades now. I remember how puzzled I used to be when Dems would vote WITH Republicans on important issues, just enough of them to make sure the Corporations got what they wanted. It made no sense at the time to me. Then those same Dems, before we had time to kick them out in a primary, would turn around and vote for something we wanted them to vote for, further confusing the issue, while another group, again, just enough to get the Corporate agenda passed, would take their place.
After discovering the presence of the Third Way in this party, after reading their website, their history, it all began to make sense. It was a revelation but more than explained everything that had been so puzzling before.
Now we know, what are we going to do to keep at least ONE PARTY working for the people? With so many on our side refusing to acknowledge the problem, although I am happy to see more and more finally doing so, it makes it hard to return this party to people who actually put the people's interests first.
