Maybe if the Democrats had used the CRA to undo some terrible Republican policies, they would have won the election.
But those same Republican policies also make the Democratic Leadership rich.
No one ever seems to notice that the Democratic Leadership is REALLY good at improving their own material conditions, they never seem to be able to do the same for their constituents.

So, yea deregulation and lead pipes and unchecked pollution! Hooray climate denier as head of EPA. Down with Democrats who want us to have safety measures, clean air and water and a future for our children! What is wrong with you ?

Until money gets out of politics and political campaigns i am finished. Haven’t voted for a dem for president since 2008. At least this year I could mark my ballot for Stein. Dems too corporate for me. Until the USA stops trying to remain the world hegemon I am done. Citizens have no say on all the misery this country does all over the world…war with China? How stupid.
