30. Democrats are doubling down on right-wing strategy because neither party wants

May 2015

liberals to vote. Seriously, they don't. We demand change. We challenge the status quo. The DNC can't stand the petulance and civil disobedience. They are hoping we stay home.

It's now politically correct in both parties to blame liberals for everything that's wrong in the world. Obama's just following the easy path paved in asphalt by our right-wing corporate-owned media.

It's much easier than fighting for justice and doing the right thing.

Remember the Democratic Party is a corporation like Nike. It takes care of itself first, investors second. There's not much leftover after that. Snuggling up to Wall Street insures objectives 1 & 2 are met with certainty and that means conservative politics for all.
