(7,024 posts)On Corporate paydays they stand in line with Republicans with their hands held out for the money and their marching orders
I have always referred to these Corporate Democrats as the Republican Lites..
As President Truman once said..to the effect "when Democrats act like Republicans the people will vote for the Republican every time"
A Democratic candidate cannot mingle with Republicans,give speeches for $200,000+ speaking fees and go around the block and tell the Union Workers that they are on their side.
People that are not ashamed be be called progressive will get the votes and the Candidate that is proud to be liberal will win elections.
I get so tired of hearing a Democrat must run from the center or center right in order to win......WRONG
For those candidates why not run as a Republican in the first place.
It will be interesting in 2020 when/if Elizabeth Warrens runs for President to see how those Republican Lites will act toward her and just how the Corporate Media will treat her..I suspect the same way they treated Bernie Sanders.
As a Progressive I am not ashamed to stand up to the damn Right Wing Radicals.
But what we have today in Congress are not Republicans but Fascists who would not give a damn if this Country moved toward a Dictatorship as long as it allowed them to keep their wealth or even gain more wealth.
It will take a Progressive Candidate and Progressives to rid Congress of these Fascists.
