"Where Are the Populist Democrats?"

[Ford_Prefect]

17. The Democratic party has only ONE agenda - Support the 1% or be damned to a Republican Future.

They are the only factor driving this election anymore. If any other feature of the American economy or social fabric had meaning for them it would be apparent. Look at the amount of time and money spent developing TPP in great secrecy. Look at the MIC segment of the economy. Look at the non-interference policies of the DOJ into any subject area which previous administrations of both parties considered worthy.

Our election system has been steered into a process of selection by fear. The Republicans vote against anything at all due to fearing the outcome will advance cultural enemies, based purely on the most effective propaganda machine since WWII. The Democrats are told they must vote to prevent such a disaster as the Republicans will create if they win. Which is again supported by the 2nd most effective propaganda machine. Neither party allows dissenting views from their relative lines of thought to enter the political dialogue. Those of either party who raise doubts or alternate issues are castigated from on high as disloyal to the party and hounded by the mindless minions of the national press (who don't know the meaning of a follow-up question let alone how to pronounce one).

Sisters and Brothers our future has already been bought and sold! We are being led through the motions of choice and participation to suit the grand scenario written to distract us. They require our consent so they have manipulated the terms of our granting it.

I would suggest we should maybe sharpen our pitchforks but you cannot buy them at Walmart.
