(32,139 posts)Usual Third Way authoritarian laser-like focus on justifying and excusing vicious, humiliating pre-emptive treatment of the poor by predatory lenders, and blaming the poor. We know what has been done to the middle class in this country. Now we are going to punish every poor person with a credit problem for it.
It's vicious propaganda. We are trained to hate and punish the poor, preemptively and to accept every new way that they are harassed and singled out by those with power over them. No ordinary borrower would be subject to this draconian assault and humiliation for being a couple of days late on a payment.
We shape the Democratic Party and its attitudes. Or at least we have a responsibility to try to. Are we going to try to make this party still our last, best hope for creating a compassionate nation?
