(62,325 posts)and Wall Street corruption, in fact it was a Democrat who signed away what would have prevented those crimes. We got a Corporate Media, again from a Dem we all loved, deregulation of the Media and Wall St didn't come from Republicans alone, it was a bi-partisan effort.
And we got the same Health Insurance Bill the Republicans had pushed for decades with a few things that are better, but still a handover of Medicaid which now passes through the hands of Ins. Corps who take out approx. 20% of those funds before passing it along to those who need it.
I think it's way past time that we get Democrats who actually vote for Democratic policies. Who will not put SS in danger by placing it on any 'table' for the Republicans to devour.
I think it's the voters turn to decide who they get to vote for. Not Wall St.'s.
And voters are saying it loud and clear, 'we won't vote for Republican Lite anymore.
War Criminals still go unpunished, Wall St criminals were rewarded.
13 Dems gave the Repubs the votes they needed for the TPP.
That's how they do it. Just enough of those Dinos make sure the Republcan agenda passes every time.
We now need a foolproof barricade, in the form of real Democrats to stop the Republicans. Because even when they were in the minority we were told they were so POWERFUL the majority couldn't defeat them.
