Democratic Primaries

(52 posts)There are millions of people who are sick and tired of the Democratic establishment. They see it as corrupted by moneyed interest.
But here, let me tell you what I tell a lot of people when they express that idea:
Yes, politicians take money from big money donors, yes the Democratic establishment is corrupted by moneyed interests. But it's our own fault. If we want that to change we have to stop being a booty call.
We the voters (in general, not speaking for most here as I know most here are very engaged) ignore these people until election time rolls around. We don't give time or money to them. We're just there every couple of years for them to get their booty call (vote for me speeches). The moneyed interests are there for them 24/7. The candidate needs money to run a campaign....moneyed interests, the candidate needs time....moneyed interests, the candidate needs a booty call vote.....the voters.
If common voters become the go to for money & time the candidate will be free to ignore the moneyed interests.
So......regular people need to stop being a booty call and become the #1 bitch.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
