The Democratic party has effectively abandoned the working class. This nonsense about the inevitability of world trade, as defined and practiced by the multinationals, has left workers without their primary reason for supporting the party. Economics is not physics, damn near everything is subject to varying definition and opinion. We could have and should have maintained our manufacturing base. The people were sold out. For that they got $30 DVD players. Same with health care. Seems like the only prominent Dem who really gives a shit is Dennis Kucinich, and he can gain no traction cause he"looks funny".

All of the rest is secondary, abortion, gay marriage, guns, all will take a back seat to good jobs and affordable health care. But the Democratic Party will not deliver because it is utterly corrupted by an upper class bent on class warfare.
