4. “Whaddya gonna do ‘bout it?”
Robert Parry
Democrats' 'Battered Wife Syndrome'

Instead, after the 9/11 attacks, Bush-43 grabbed unprecedented powers; he authorized torture and warrantless wiretaps; he pressured Democrats into accepting an unprovoked war in Iraq; and he sought to damage his critics, such as former Ambassador Joseph Wilson.

Now, after eight destructive years, the Democrats have again gained control of the White House and Congress, but they seem intent on once more not provoking the Republicans, rather than holding them accountable.

Though President Barack Obama has released some of the key documents underpinning Bush-43’s actions, he opposes any formal commission of inquiry and has discouraged any prosecutions for violations of federal law. Obama has said he wants “to look forward as opposed to looking backward.”

....
In other words, the Republicans are rousing themselves from the couch and getting angry, while the Democrats are prancing about, hands out front, trying to calm things down and avoid a confrontation.

7. Voting isn't near enough. By the time we get to vote the selection has been
controlled by CorpAmerica.

And there are a lot of stupid chuckle-heads in this country. CorpAmerica loves the stupid. The CorpAmerica media and Faux News keep them that way.

We need a populace movement to take back the Democratic Party from CorpAmerica.
