(55,981 posts)It's obvious from the battles we've seen in the various states and as it plays out here in DU.
The Social Democrats that believe in helping the People and the Corporate Democrats that believe in helping big corporations make bigger profits. Now some of the corporatists will swear up and down that even though they support corporate control of our government, they still want to help those among us struggling. Like giving Monsanto more power will help the small farmers or the consumers that don't want to consume GMO. Like helping the Banksters will prevent another bubble burst like the housing collapse. People lost their homes and savings and the corporate Democrats somehow rationalize that away that those that lost homes deserved it because....... oh I don't know, you probably know the rationalization better than I. We need to continue to increase the funding for the MIC corporations because war machines are more important than reducing poverty.
When confronted with these non-emphatic positions the Corporate Democrats will counter with "pragmatism", their excuse to ignore the suffering around us.
Of course the Corporate Democrats with their Clinton Aristocracy are funded by the big corporations, duh. And anyone that thinks the Corp-Democrats won't yield to them over helping the poor are sadly naive.
