(19,537 posts)The group that President Clinton was president of at one point? Why would big corporate lobbyist spenders like the Kochs support that organization if it and the "Centrist" Dems are what DEFINES the Democratic Party, and not those that the Koch brothers along with the DLC and many here that claim the "far left" do not have "Democratic principles" in their hearts? Maybe you could argue that today the party's "principles" are now not as far left as they TRADITIONALLY have been, when older Democrats advocated the tax rates that we used to have and protecting fundamental pillars like social security. Hell, even Republicans like Eisenhower would be too "far left" for many here to consider as Democrats in this party of today that corruption money from the likes of the Koch brothers have COOPTED the party from the rest of us.
We don't need any more DINOs like the Rahm Emmanuels that have literally dismissed us in the past in public. There's a movement that will rid of us the cancerous elements like them soon, when many of us wake up to the corporate takeover that is taking place and demand change. Even many Republicans are echoing our concerns of why our own party in chief of the executive functions in this government isn't prosecuting the many CRIMINALS on Wall Street that have so destroyed this country's well being and its middle class over the last decade or so.
