(84,711 posts)As you so well state. Problem is that our Dem Third Way doesn't want to talk about the money or deal with it...and so the issues pushed are to turn attention away from that glaring problem by throwing a blanket over it and pretending it isn't at the root of it all.
=======From your post:
The corporate propaganda has done a marvelous, manipulative job of framing this debate constantly in terms of personalities and party loyalties. We are fed garbage about "pragmatism" and a "right-leaning electorate" and even pathological personal shyness or caution on the part of individual Democratic politicians...but it's all bullshit. This has nothing to do with personalities or individual politicians. It has to do with an entire system that is corrupted by corporate money, power, and purchased propaganda. The system SELECTS corporate sellouts and rewards them beyond their wildest dreams, and it destroys most alternatives before they even have a chance to get started.
The people are finally waking up to realize that our only power lies in our numbers, our unity, and our ability to refuse together to play by the rules of this rigged game.
We need to remember why we are in this place. When we jettison the wolves from our party, when we are able to grind the corrupt system to a halt in whatever form that takes, we need to focus first and foremost on STRUCTURAL CHANGE AND GETTING CORPORATE MONEY OUT OF ELECTIONS AND OUT OF WASHINGTON.
IT'S ABOUT THE MONEY.
