Except for the solutions, the people have been betrayed and shoved aside by both parties. Just being used for vote numbers is not what the people need, They need true advocates who will do their bidding. The truthfulness of Kucinich and Paul is what we need. If we continue to elect the power whores, we lose.

@FlintfromOhio It looks the easiest way, but in reality it never works out. There is an old saying in Britain "you get elected to change Parliament, but Parliament changes you.."

If the existing party structures were capable of actually changing society, they wouldn't be allowed. European and later ruling class structures learned during the 19th century to ABSORB the democratic push from below. Reform rather than revolution - procrastinate instead of legislate, the illusion of change...

progressive party or democrat party, same as socialistic parties, philosphy of marxists, communists call them useful idiots, and use them to change the social, economical and philosphy of governments to total government control.

They pushed slavery before, during and after the civil war, they push one world order, they have pushed john dewey supposed father of modern education which was a marxist.

Power comes from the barrel of a gun, Unless your a useless American that let 535 old tyrants walk all over your cowardly asses

The mind of a supporter of the Democratic Party is a dead end street. No one in their right mind would support the Democrats given the reality and facts of America today. The Republicans are not viable alternatives as they are screwed up as well. People just keep getting further away from facts and more into fantasy as time goes by. The election victory of Obama is a perfect example of this. Forget about reform it is about raising taxes, spending more and most of all wealth redistribution.

@Gulfporter What the hell? Zinn was an anarchist, not authoritarian. You want single-payer? So does Goodman.

Honestly what is your problem with guns religion and the military. Also i would really like to hear exactly how religion makes money, that is a new one that i havent heard before. Also some unions need to be close down, because at times they do way more harm than good to the company.

This dude is a clown, flat out.

Bernie Sanders is held up as this clown's standard bearer, yet outside of Vermont, folks like Bernie Sanders wouldn't have a chance.

The Democratic Party is the only "big tent" party in this country for a reason. The core belief that all Democrats have is the belief that government can work in the favor of the public good. And there is an earnest fight over the details to that.

To sit and try to assume that all Democrats are on the fringe of the party is dumb.

[Gulfporter]

Close the borders.

Deport the illegals.

Pass Single Payer

End DADT

End DOMA

My fellow Democrats, do not buy the politics of Howard Zinn and living traitors like Amy Goodman and so called "progressives". They are not progressive. They are authoritarian socialists and communists who are hellbent on destroying this country.

Jesus would be proud of you. I think he also agreed w/ you to defend the "strong". Can you quote us the scripture in which Jesus said this?? PLZ ... I'll wait.
