Thomas Frank calls out blind partisanship by Dems

93. So True And Thanks For Posting This PPS!!

Anyone still believing this is the same old school Democratic party that once derived it's power from the people and was passionate about the issues that affected the quality of life for poor and middle class Americans are either so locked into the "competition" between the Democrats and Republicans that they're blinded to the truth or part of the charade...

Either way, over the last thirty years we have watched while this country has degenerated from a Democratic Republic into an oligarchy. And how many prominent democrats have even mentioned the fact? There's your litmus test! Of course for moderate and conservative republicans this is a complete victory, but for a party the markets itself as "the party of the people" an utter and complete fail. They're failing at the very core of the reason for the privilege of having a (d) after their name, representing and "fighting" for the interests of the people they claim to represent. And the fact that we've allowed this failure to go on for over thirty says as much about those of us who still identify with the Democratic party as it does with the people we keep sending to DC to defend our interests.
