Politicians chase money and votes. The party will only move left if they can no longer rely on left wing votes and have to go after them by moving left.

I'm not at all interested in moving the Democratic Party to the left. I would certainly welcome it, but I'm a helluva lot more interested in moving the nation and the world to the left.

People seem to forget that democratic parties are supposed to be representative of the people that belong to them. They are, essentially, tools to advance ideals and programs. When they fail to do so, they are no longer doing what they're supposed to do.

In today's America, the 2 major parties represent politicians and the interests that supply them with money. Those interests are in actual control of the country. One only has to look at the deals cut between government and corporations to see who is really in charge.

Time for a new party? I'll settle for the Greens until they sell out on the issues.
