(4,407 posts)But I am interested in having a politician that understands the disastrous future inherent in the disparity of wealth in this country and will speak boldly about it. I am deeply suspicious of politicians who throw bones in that direction while getting paid exorbitant amounts by wall street firms. We can win without their money. I believe that the future of progressive politics right now is not to concentrate on who uses what bathroom, but removing the fundamental unfairness in our political and economic systems that is turning us into a third world, where people are either rich or poor.
All oppression and discrimination is really, in the end, achieved best through economic inequalities.
Classify, characterize, analyze what I believe however you want, but I will donate to, and fight for, the candidate who most closely holds those values.
Sure I'll always vote Democratic in the general election, but I hope people push the party hard to end the obscene distribution of wealth that is going on.
