“I’ve got your back,” she said, almost shouting, “and I’ll do everything I can for you.”

15. Well written. One reason the "New" Democrats don't seem to worry

about support from the grassroots, is that the system has been gamed. The Republicon Party, whether by design or not, has become the clown Party. The Progressive Real Democrats are not given a choice, vote for the Corporate backed Conservative Democrats or else. So where does that leave the Democratic grassroots? Abandon the Party, plug your nose and vote for the Conservative candidate or pretend the conservative candidate will not hurt us too badly.

Some are looking to Sen Sanders or Sen Warren to save us and I support them completely, but they shouldn't be looked to as a possible savior. They can be easily neutralized by a Democratic Party Machine that has little use for them. We need to support the Populist Movement which is happening all across our country. You have to look for it because the Corp-Media is ignoring the individual protests and gains.

Support progressive organizations like moveon and DFA.
