Going on two years ago the GOP won the biggest mid-term landslide in modern political history. All that's left of the democrat party is a lame duck president who apparently prefers to tango while Europe burns and the only choices die hard democrats have is an old commie or the abused psychotic wife of a former president who might face indictment before the election. Tell me again which party is dying?
its sad we identify ourselves with party and not policy.
all these threads just turn into partisan bickering. Its sad really when we really don't even have a 2 party system anymore.
I love when someone makes a post critical of 1 political party. The immediate response is "oh yeah, the other party sucks nah nah na boo boo." Its the same old bias towards fairness game we see constantly.
What happened is that the GoP moved so far to the right that it ended up dragging the Democratic party to the center. Hilary is a Bluedawg democrat corporate welfare warhawk.
if she were to debate Donald Trump they would spend 90% of the time agreeing with each other.
Now of course I am going to get flamed by liberals and conservatives alike for this post but I don't care. lets take barack Obama, the champion of liberalism in America. When he was running for president ALL we heard from the corporate media was how he is a pacifist socialist muslim Kenyan who will redistribute wealth and tax us to death.
what did Obama do as president>?
1. expanded the Drone War program that bush started
2. reauthorized the Patriot Act.
3. Regime change in Lybia.
4. sold weapons to rebels in the middle east
warhawk just like the defense contractors and GoP wanted.
1. Extended Bush tax cuts for the rich.
2. After the bush tax cuts ended he returned us to Clinton tax rates.
3. Bailed out corporate America. redistributed wealth to the top 1%
So if Obama is a socialist he is sending the money the wrong direction.
the list goes on and on I could do this all day. Obama ran to the right so fast after he won the election I would almost call if the 1st republican black president.
Bernie Sanders is a true democrat, but the democratic party has moved so far right and just become a moderate extension of the republican party that he isn't even welcome in the party. The corporate media and the establishment hate him.
