A corporate Democrat is one who takes corporate money and acts in ways that make it clear s/he wants to keep getting it.

The argument that Tom Perez in a corporate Democrat has a lot of merit. Maybe you should actually listen to some of the YouTube clips being posted here.

Then again, as a Democratic elitist, maybe you're just representing what you really believe; that money really should rule in politics.

There's always an excuse.

What's wrong with small, universally accessible donation amounts like $100, limited to only REAL individuals as opposed to corporations?

That should be plenty to pay a reasonable staff.

It would also be low enough that no one is able to exert undue influence, which is rampant today.

Or would you rather the Koch smokers, Halliburtons, Goldman Sachs and Mercer families of the country continue to exert all the influence?

Seems to be working out well so far... For them, at least.

Id never thought id say this but in comparison W now looks like a third grader, thats a promotion in my book, while we have a GD kindergartenar hanging with the nuke codes. Yes bush paved some ways for this... but he is smarter. He had a heart too, it was very cold and tiny but it existed, this fucking monster we got now is heartless and soulless!

Nah, he's no genius. He was just born with all the advantages money, privilege and connections could provide.

He's the poster child for why that's a failed model for progress.

I get what you are saying, completly. But the man or his wizard of oz behind him has an uncanny ability to come out victorious when underestimated... a psycopathic authoritarian wanna be, should be feared, because getting your opponent to dismiss you as a fool can be a hell of a chess move...

I agree. History would seem to prove you right on many occasions, not just the last election.

Unlike many here, I was old enough to vote against him.

Our country has been moving to the right since Mr Reagan took office, to the great detriment of anyone not in the top 10% earning brackets.

It's been working more and more poorly as time goes on, meanwhile corporations keep getting more and more tax breaks and subsidies- which makes things worse.

Our country is headed towards aristocracy, a situation not unlike Mexico, where a very few at the top control the entire economy while everyone else lives at the edge of starvation and can't save enough to get ahead.

Mexico's crime rate is a direct result of this situation, where desperation drives people to do whatever they can to make a living, no matter how dangerous.

Leveling the economic playing field is the very best way to keep that kind of thing from happening here. If people can see themselves getting ahead within the system, they won't be so tempted/desperate that they'll seek out a life of crime.

I concur, ever since I cast my very first vote in 1980 for Reagan (what can I say, my Union backed) I'm still waiting for the trickle down just like many Americans are.
It's like being at the bottom of a dam the 10 percent who are at the top grab up all the wealth and expand while the 90 percent who are getting the trickle down are finding it harder to get by with the meagerness they get.
Just look at the explosion of millionaires and billionaires over the last 3-4 decades.

God help us with this idiot in the Oval Office.

It's time for a different direction, for certain.

I'd be happy to see them perp walked just for violating the Constitutional prohibition against foreign emoluments clause. Anything will do, it's not like the aren't plenty of transgressions to choose from!

I guess at this point I hope that the grown ups that are left in the GOP party (if there are any left) would put country before partisanship and get rid of this menace...I hope.

They've been putting greed ahead of everything else, morality and ethics included, for so long I just don't see it happening.
