This will be a rant, albeit a short one. Don't like rants? You've been warned, so please don't read it.
We Democrats have let our party- who should be for protecting the interests and livelihoods of American workers get taken over by corporate vultures who stand in line to take bribes to sell our interests out.
Do you support the mainstream Democrats, from the Oval office to the DNC? Are you the ones who instead of refusing to hold your leaders accountable, point at the the other side and preach fear by saying "Well those other guys are worse!" or "What about the Supreme Court?". News flash: you are the ones who let this happen. By unconditionally supporting the very people who sell you out. By voting for them and encouraging other Democrats to vote for them. As long as they can get away with doing the bidding of the plutocrats and being well compensated for it, guess what? They will.
Here's what to do: refuse to be motivated by fear mongering designed to make you submit and be complicit in their evil. Don't support politicians who are working against your interests. Ever. Ever, ever, ever. Tell anyone who will listen that you won't donate to, work for, vote for or encourage others to donate to, work for, vote for or encourage others to vote for politicians that are in a very real sense your enemies- who are bent on destroying the country in exchange for bribes and lucrative careers post-office. In other words hold your party bigs accountable.
If you work in the interests of people working against yours and those of your children then you are a fool. I don't care how bad the "other guys" are. That's how this crap happens. Defend it and you are defending evil, defending the deliberate and obscenely profitable destruction of our country. You are the problem just as surely as those selling you out. And you're not even getting paid, hell some of you are giving them money to get your interests sold out!
The Supreme Court? Fuck you. The other guys are worse? Fucking fuck you. They need you, don't enable them. This doesn't get fixed until we grow a pair and say, "Enough"! And then walk our own talk.
The current party is all kinds of fucked up and it won't get fixed until we stop playing nice and demand it be and if you can't look further ahead than the next election cycle it never will be. Everything is at stake, the American people support most of the Democratic policy agenda but have nobody to vote for to make it happen. That's no accident, what the people want isn't what the plutocrats want and they will never give it to us until we demand it first.
