Bernie Sanders: Longterm Democratic strategy is “pathetic”{INTERVIEW}

55. Good analysis Rhett. And here's the contradiction in the stand taken by

those claiming to be liberal. They pass the test of what it means to be a liberal by claiming to support Women and Minorities.

But the support they give to the Third Way Corporate policies, guarantees the continued second class citizen status of those very demographics.

So on the one hand, they claim legitimacy as Dems by mouthing support for the underprivileged, while their support for Corporate Policies exposes them as the phonies they are.

'Watch what they DO, not what they SAY'.

Eg, Holder. On the one hand he is given credit for taking on voters' rights in an attempt to end the disenfranchisement of minorities.

But his policies on the Drug War guarantee that very disenfranchisement of minorities.

Again, people need to stop listening to what they say and watching what they do.

Re FDR, he was intelligent. He knew that when oligarchies become too greedy, too oppressive, they eventually see entire populations rise up against them.

He wanted a country where everyone had an equal chance to live a decent life. That of course would cut into the profits of Predatory Capitalists. He wasn't opposed to Capitalism, or Socialism in the European sense of the word, and he was right. A balance between the two gives those who want them, opportunities that are not possible with only one or the other.

What we have today is not Capitalism. It's interesting that his own 'class' hated him and his policies as they saw those policies as a threat to their own standing.
