2. True, but
The problem is who do we get "real" democrats on the ballot? There are way to many DINO's in congress who vote for the corporations that give them the most money. Until we can stop this we can't get "real" democrats because they can't come up with the kind of money needed to run. We need to make the playing field even, but we can't do that until congress pass some laws, and as long as most of congress are in the pockets of those big corporations, well they sure as heck won't vote to cut of their supply of the "MONEY"!

We need public financing and we need term limits. The longer a politician is in office, the more corrupt most of them become.
