And to think the Democratic Party was like this before...

[woo me with science]

27. Nonsense corporate talking points. Neoliberals are a menace to disadvantaged groups.

and every REAL progressive who is NOT pushing predatory, looting corporate policy down our throats ACTUALLY supports civil rights rather than cravenly using these important issues as a wedge to force people to vote for policies that will economically eviscerate them.

Third Way claims to care especially about civil rights are beyond ludicrous. The record is clear that predatory corporatism harms all of us, but it ravages disadvantaged groups most of all. Never in history has concentrating the wealth and power of a nation in the hands of a tiny, greedy elite led to greater empowerment of marginalized groups. NEVER in the past, and certainly not now:

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.
