You might wonder who. You might call for a list, which can't be provided. Mainly because it's not politicians we are purging.
Who then? The young voter and the poor.
I can hear the cries of bullshit, now, but if you really stop and think for a moment, that is who isn't coming to us.
As long as our politicians allow banksters to go unpunished.
As long as we don't fight to fix a rigged system that keeps the poor in poverty.
As long as we don't fight for making it easier to vote.
As long as we allow insurance companies to rape us financially to pay for a part of required health care.
As long as we allow the government to continue to profit off of student loans.
As long as our tax code is structured to funnel the money to the top.
As long as we continue to militarize the police.
As long as prisons are profit centers for private concerns.
As long as we continue to spy on our population wholesale.
As long as we keep accepting a slice of bread instead of half of a loaf (forget the whole loaf).
As long as our message is we are slightly less evil than those other guys.
We will continue to languish.
One of two things will happen in the next ten years. Either the party will go back to its FDR inspired roots and start fighting to make an actual difference in the lives of the poor which will shore up the middle class, or a new party will come along and capture the demographic.
