Wall St and the military industrial complex wins either way. They get their monster on the right in or they have a corporate democrat that continues the same policies. We are supposed to be happy because the alternative could be worse. That's emotional blackmail and when someone does that to you you're supposed to stop playing their stupid game and get serious. We need to purge republican-lite from our party and elect more progressive candidates and stop playing footsie with the Rethuglicans. Also this is the same technique that is played by cops with good cop bad cop game...but they're both still cops trying to screw you.

The GOP is light-years worse than the Democrats, on any & every issue you can think of.

I totally agree with your post and I'd like to add one more John Lewis quote if you don't mind.
