(692 posts)Jenkins has provided facts and statistics that match the reality on the ground and the complete rightward turn of the Democratic Party into a descent of savage neoliberalism. Your reply - on the other hand - has provided nothing but rank emotion. So thoroughly do some identify with the status quo and the capitalist power structure that they actually take it as a wound upon their own personal identity politics.
Anybody who thinks the neoliberal policies of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the current face of the Democratic party represents, will represent, or is good for the working class, the AA community, and the poor and struggling in this country is so willfully mislead that it is easy to dismiss anything they have to say.
At least the right wing barbarians - that constitute the leadership of the Republican Party - are honest about which side they're on. Better to know where your enemies stand than to get continually stabbed in the back by the enemies, opportunists, and reactionaries in your "own tent."
