It's a big club, and you ain't in it

120. Since you can't think of any comment, here's mine:

The article is an attack on the Democrats and Republicans (and the author continues that theme in his other pieces on Common Dreams). It puts Obama, Pelosi and Hillary Clinton in the photo the thread starter chose as an OP illustration. The article attacks Obama ("Barack Obama settled in the camp of those Dewey so often lambasted&quot , talks about 'the fecklessness of the "two-party tyranny"', says 'Democrats pay fealty to progressive movements, but rarely present more than "tepid reforms," amounting to a mere "attenuation of the shadow"', and says ' the campaign of Hillary Clinton has embodied such subservience to the corporate class'.

The Carter interview was about the Citizens United decision. He said Democratic and Republican incumbents see the money as useful, and incumbents are best place to benefit from it, so that they are unlikely to work to get rid of it. But Clinton has pledged to fight to overturn Citizens United. Carter supports Hillary.

So, no, Carter wouldn't have written anything like the OP. He's a Democrat. He supports Hillary. The OP article was written by someone fundamentally opposed to the Democrats, and especially Hillary.
