Stop pretending like the Democrats are the good guys, without a plan. It's not helpful and it's not true. The Cold War is the Democrats message. Cutting welfare and deregulating banks is the Democrats message. Jailing whistle blowers & journalists is the Democrats message.

Perfectly said. It's been the US's way since I grew up in a relatively poor Caribbean: when just about everyone was ready to love the Americans, they kept blocking the path out of poverty based on simple good will, because they could only see communism; so powerful, so afraid.

What people don't get is our own government is working against us. Whether it be democrats or republicans we are all in danger of this farse democracy.

No. Do not make them being horrific assholes as anything but the fault of them being horrific assholes. WE are not responsible for their utter lack of character.

Am I wrong to say that Republican and Democratic establishments cater to the same corporate masters? They say they’ll work for you only when they need your precious vote.

I usually agree with you. Not this time. Your statement makes super human demands for democratic behavior while giving republicans a pass for being less than cooperative. I’m disappointed.
