Can We Have An Open Honest Discussion About Progressives, Civil Rights, And Income Inequality ???

[woo me with science]

14. The Third Way claim of caring most about women and minorities is a cynical, vicious lie.

Issues of civil rights are deliberately used as a tool and a wedge by corporate candidates to blackmail people into voting for their own economic destruction. There is no more transparent LIE than that corporate candidates are the only candidates who care about women and minorities. Rather, they are the candidates who EXPLOIT them. And the vicious irony is that the corporatist policies actually work to SAVAGE the groups that corporatists brag they care about. Corporatism harms all Americans, but corporate policies PUMMEL minority and disadvantaged groups the most.

It is a cynical, vicious con game, and we should call it out for what it is.

Predatory corporatism harms all of us, but it ravages disadvantaged groups most of all.

The truth is that women and minorities can't afford more corporatism and are already dying because of it. The effects of *continued* corporate warfare on this nation and other nations will be a disaster for all human beings, but *especially* women and minorities.

It's all a viciously cynical rhetorical game, and the corporate propaganda doesn't fly anymore. The Third Way will not protect values of racial *or* gender equality by supporting candidates whose policies are dismantling the very economic and democratic systems that make it possible for women and minorities to be empowered. They certainly won't do it with policies like Obama's and Hillary's that protect bankers, starve schools and communities, grow exploitative industries including private prisons, and militarize the hell out of police in marginalized communities.

If people think things are bad now, just wait until we see the status of women and minorities in this country when we are all working for Third World wages, Hillary's trade agreements have ramped up corporate power and the ability of predatory corporations to override our democratic laws and protections, and dissent in the new corporate America has been crushed.
