In reply to the discussion: The Democratic Party has proven what a gutless mess it has become [View all]whereisjustice
(2,941 posts)on the most important economic and social issues of our time? Democratic Leadership wants us to rally around Reaganomic trickle-down micro-solutions like "profit-sharing" and "privatization". The sooner we confront the ugly truth that just because you are pro-choice and not completely opposed to gay marriage, doesn't make up for the fact that the Democratic Party's conservative mindset is creating social chaos driving a wedge between people to distract from the crimes against humanity. I don't use that term lightly - just look at our prisons, Wall Street/Washington corruption, out of control medical and education systems. We are punishing the non-rich with immoral, unregulated social and economic policies.
Democrats are fighting to defend Wall Street (massive fraud), State Dept (endless wars), HHS (privatization of health policy), DoJ (for profit prisons).
Democratic Leadership is just advancing the same nonsense voodoo policies as the Republicans. The Democrats just use much fancier language to masquerade the negative consequences for the middle class and below.
