In reply to the discussion: Ocasio-Cortez won't commit to backing Biden in 2024: 'We'll cross that bridge when we get to it' [View all]Ford_Prefect
(8,699 posts)27. In the 60 years I've been a registered Democrat I've met many kinds. Corporate Dems are just one
class among them. I don't believe in party purity. It has no basis in the real communities we inhabit.
That there is collusion among corporate sponsors to manage the future of our party to their advantage is hardly a recent revelation. That I object to it should be no surprise either.
If you haven't yet picked up on how its been done you may have missed a few chapters in American History.
For the record Corporate Democrats were labeled as such by the press long ago. It is not "loonie rhetoric" for me to use the term. The idea that the Democratic Party stands primarily for middle class suburbia is another historical invention of the press. It is one which flies in the face of actual party history, just ask anyone with a union card.

I do think she is obligated to support Democratic legislation which is the point of electing her.

Sorry for all her defenders here but: this kind of talk does not help our party. Not one bit.
