Which, by the way, lest anyone think Im being terribly harsh on one party, the GOP has offered nothing but symbolic, or at best pathetically weak opposition to over the last 20 years.

A pox on both their Houses!

They used to be the party of the people, or at least had a strong populist wing among rural, small town middle class and skilled labor, but today they are a party run by effete academic snobs, patronizing the politically ignorant, primarily black innner-city, and laboring classes whom they keep on the plantation through entitlements and goodies paid for by the entrepereneurial and middle classes.

It has become the party of puke rotten corruption, fraud, social decadence, and moral irrelevance.

Donks have never been for the people who had little ability to protect themselves. They are pushers of abortion (not “pro-life - they are actual PUSHERS for abortion), and what class of human life has less ability to defend itself?

They have created special classes of people from swathes of population whose “special class” is based upon choices those people have made and/or are making, and have even foisted on the public the criminalization of criticizing those classes or their actions.

And, far from “protecting” seasoned citizens (remember when the Elephants were so roundly criticized for wanting to cut back the increases to SS and Medicare?), they want to eliminate their coverage now because, you know, they won’t be voting as often as younger folks and so we really need to keep the younger folks on the plantation now, don’t we?

It’s all smoke and mirrors, lying, cheating skuzzball politics.
