(3,795 posts)... a Republican much sooner than you can imagine.
Things do not get better for most people when corporate Democrats have power (even if things do get worse faster with Republicans). There are consequences for that.
The last 4 decades have shown the middle class, working class, and poor continuing to lose ground regardless of which Party was in control in this country.
If we can reform the Democratic Party back to what it represented during FDR's days the Democratic Party just might get another 3 or 4 decades of government control.
If we don't reform the Democratic Party, every time the Republicans behave horribly and lose their power (which they will ALWAYS do of course), the corporate-owned Democrats won't make the reforms that are desperately needed. Things will most likely continue to get even more difficult financially for most Americans. The Republicans WILL regain power in this scenario so much faster than many could believe possible.
The Republican Party's death is continually talked about around here, and they have so much of the country locked up right now. They are a ridiculous and horrible Party. But time after time the Democratic Party never makes them pay for the many horrible things they do. What does that say about the Democratic Party? This bipartisan crap needs to stop, and the American people need to be made aware of how extreme the Republican Party has become. The Democratic Party needs to start FIGHTING FOR US!
