21. I think one has to bear in mind the sheer number of corporatists

that exist in our party today. That is to say, people who prefer to be led than to lead.

In many ways, the Democratic Party has personally left me behind over the last few decades and that is fine if it is what the majority prefers. If the majority of a people in a party prefer to support the goals of Milton Friedman, and provide that goal with more money and more power than they do to the people fighting for goals opposite of him, that reality will be reflected.

A fact which I have been struggling with for years but am slowly coming to grips with. Polls like this always seem to bear it out for me. The more we relinquish our self determination to Wall St, the softer our grip on democracy. For some, that has been the goal all along.
