Just think what a hero a Republican could be by standing with Dems? They might be invincible in their reelection. Someone proves they are for the people.. I think the Dems and the Repugs have lost a lot of the "people". Now is the time for future AMERICAN politicians stand away from both party establishments and show the people that they are individuals just like us.. I mean no disrespect for Perez.. But he has a lot of rebuilding before progressives necessarily trust the DNC again.

That's what I never understood.. The need for power at any cost. I think many times if the Koch brothers had invested the billions into humanitarian causes, they would be such heroes. They wouldn't need to have a PAC.. They would be beloved and be given power willingly. They would rather grab things by force.. Bend the will of the people with strangle holds..

The rest of the statement are subjective choices made by said "governing class".
There is no clearer a statement of Gorsucks political position as a fascist.
