gay rights? what happened to DODT? they still control the Senate and Congress.
taxes? bush tax cuts upheld
abortion? IMHO it won’t be repealed, Roe v. Wade is safe
universal health care? surely you don’t mean steaming pile of dogshit that was just passed? public option was never on the table, this from a president who has all the political capital he could’ve wanted and both houses. all we heard was ‘we really want to pass something more liberal but need 60votes’ and what did they do? pass it on reconciliation where they only needed 50. And you’re the sucker if you actually think they care about you.
or ‘we need to pass something so we can then modify it’ well, how much did they modify it really?
whatever they passed it wasn’t health care reform.
kept on Gates, extended Iraq and Afganistan, I could go on and on.
the truth is to run for president you need lots of money, dem or repub, and in order to get that money you need donors, you then b/c beholden to those donors, again dem or repub. The system is so broken and it’s the middle class that’s paying for it.
of all the primary canidates on the dem side it speaks volumes that the most liberal was Dennis Kucinich. He’s the only one who actually sounded like the democrates from 20 years ago.
Yes, the democratic party has really changed. And not for the better.
