1. I don't think the minions of the Corporate Democrats understand that progressives

are fighting for the 2.5 million homeless American Children, the 16 million American Children living in poverty, the worst infant mortality in the modern world, 50 million people on food stamps, 100 million working poor, black men with a 35% unemployment rate, and the millions in prison for marijuana crimes that can't vote, the millions that lost their homes, jobs and retirements.

We are fighting against an entrenched corporate run oligarchy that somehow have convinced their minions that corporate profits are more important than feeding the poor, being free from domestic spying, etc.

To the non-progressives, what are we fighting for that you find terrible? Why disparage us?
