19. "so many people here willfully refuse to understand", I disagree

Thu Jul 6, 2017, 07:14 AM

Jul 2017

DU itself is a forum discussing such problems. Democrat politicians certainly aren't immune to corporate influences, the for-profit prison part is most bothersome, indeed.
We had our option, we failed to topple the corporate influences that usurped most of our number one choice, ended up divided and conquered. We would still be facing far better economic odds under "Stronger Together" than MAGA ever intended to begin with.
Willfully surrendering to the lesser of the evils, yes. Very few here claim the Democratic party is pure to it's ideals, the discussions are all part of attempts to understand and reconcile these problems. We would be embroiled far deeper in these exact discussions under a Clinton presidency by now.
I'll still accept the corporate corruption of Democrats over the hasten-the-mass extinction and blatant misanthropy of the Uglicans any day of the week.
