(24,411 posts)And I find it utterly amazing that the Republicans have kicked the Kochs to the curb, and are in the process of bucking their establishment while the Democrats are split. I mean...the REPUBLICANS!! The party of warmongers, corporate kow towing, racism, religious extremism and stupidity. They're light years ahead of us!
And look at the Democrats--50/50 on whether or not to send the establishment packing-which is OBVIOUS to the entire country that this is what needs to be done.
Our country is a laughing stock on the world's stage because we have allowed our bought-and-paid-for politicians to let powerful corporations determine the future of EVERYTHING--from healthcare and energy policy to trade and climate change.
The Republicans are scapegoating minorities--as they try to find a cause for the problems. But at least they see how utterly contemptible the Establishment is--and they are kicking it to the curb. Their choice of Trump is deplorable. Utterly frightening. It's too bad that a John Huntsman couldn't have captured their imaginations.
But the Democrats---there is no excuse for offering up the most establishment candidate EVER who is the poster child for the chilling corporate corruption that has decimated our democracy.
My God, the DNC--what are they even thinking?
