It's Official: Corporations Own The Democratic Party Now

1. 1968, unless the Democratic Party grows up and sees the writing on the wall.

This is not the year to be the Corporate Party.

This is the year to party like old-time Democrats, like FDR and Truman and so forth. When it was commonly accepted that this party stood up for the people, not the powers that be.

Trump knows that, and he will beat us 50 ways till Sunday with it if we continue to pursue the same strategy we've used since Ronald Reagan kicked our butts years ago.

It's over! The Reagan days are over. And there couldn't be a clearer messenger about that than Trump.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

If Democrats would just unify Sanders and Clinton supporters around a truly tried and true Progressive platform, not one of those bait and switch corporate illusions, we would ride together to our rightful destiny as the protectors of that which is good and true in America.

Continue to offer the same stale pie of triangulation, dissembling, and corporate blowjobs, and we lose. That simple.

6. It's time to actually move the D party back to the Populist FDR left. Party leaders and reps need

to give up their unholy addictions to their sugardaddy economic royalists.

7. Ain't gonna happen.

Look how quickly they've dispatched Bernie.

We need to get a lot more organized and dedicated.

9. It will happen if millions of us MAKE it happen!

13. This is why we need a Bernie Sanders figure, because it allows/encourages us to focus. Absent

Bernie we are mostly voiceless.

8. Apparently not the only source with that conclusion.

10. There's a reason why the Democratic Party membership is shrinking every year.

It won't be long before both"major" parties combined will represent less than half the American public....
People will begin to ask why we allow fringe parties to choose are candidates..

11. Our voting turnouts are less and less while Repubs go up....

If Bernie wasn't in this Primary I hate to think what we Dems would look like in turnout.

Our Party isn't answering the problems of the average person these days and not even addressing the poor as much as we pretend to.

12. They have a republican lite running for president.
