90. None of it's true. BLAME DEMOCRATS says the sheep herder: Blaaaaaaaame Democrats elite establishment

Nov 22

corporatist neoliberals corrupted by oligarchs and wealthy donors (lets see the list of policies the party has changed because of money and not because they can't get enough votes -- oh, yeah, that doesn't exist), have no idea what a working class is (erase any Democratic Party platform unless they can take it back to FDR and pretend that was actually a made-up fantasy of "democratic socialism" and not typical liberal Democratic. Responsible for every bad thing in America since the '70s when Bill Clinton forced the change of the economy from manufacturing (main cause automation) to a service and technology one with his diabolical NAFTA plot so Wall Street would invite him over for fancy canapés every day (remember "Roger & Me" that movie Micheal Moore made about manufacture moving abroad, that and Farm Aid all happened in the '80s (between 1970 and 1990, inflation-adjusted prices for wheat, soybeans and corn decreased by two-thirds). They just want to blame Democrats for everything, It's all poo. People seem to have it in their thick heads there has be a scapegoat and Democrats are the government so there's your scapegoat no matter what reality is. Thanks for the people who don't step in the poo and mindlessly track it around.

And of course The American Dream last for those 25 or so post-war years. That's history. Democrats didn't ruin your American dream, history moved on.
