If All Democrats Truly Were Populists There Would Be No Republicans [View all]

All this centrist crap is destroying our party, our country, and our world.

While we are moving to the right steadily, playing the centrist game, more and more people refuse to come out and campaign for us, donate to us, and walk through fire to vote for us, because they know we have their backs.

If Democrats fought as hard for working class, and poor Americans as the Republicans fight for the billionaires, we wouldn't have Republicans.

Just a simple observation.

"The populists saw government as an instrument of popular power to be wielded against economic monopolies and the idle rich. "We believe that the power of government -- in other words, of the people -- should be expanded...to the end that oppression, injustice and poverty shall eventually cease in the land," the Populist Party platform of 1892 declared."

I will take a populist over a sellout any day, and so would 90% of voters.

Not too hard to figure out.
