would not be able to print such an article if Dems would stand up for the working class the way they used to. Actually the very fact that they are writing about this, JUST AS MANY LIBERAL publications have been doing for a long time now, shows how vulnerable the party that is supposed to be the party of the working class, has become.
And that is why Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have become so popular.
Dems ARE handing issues to the Republicans.
When Dems talk about CUTTING SS, when they falsely imply that SS ever had anything to do with the Deficit, instead of screaming from the highest roof tops the REAL REASONS why we had a deficit, REPUBLICAN POLICIES, they PROTECTED Bush's Tax Cuts for the Wealthy which contributed TWO TRILLION dollars to the deficit.
Did Dems point THAT out, NO. Nor did they go after them on the unnecessary wars they started. THEY contributed trillions more to the deficit.
And how about Wall St corruption? Dems did NOT go after Republicans on these issues.
All we heard about was the lie that SS had anything to do with the deficit, which it did not.
Now, imagine if today's Dem Party was the party of FDR.
IF it was, there is no way the Washington Times or anyone else could write an article like that. Because they would be laughed at.
It IS sad that the right can now attack Dems on issues they should be unable to do.
And they will, take this article as a warning. There will probably be lots more from the Right. Not that they will be sincere, we know that, but they have been given the opening.
Which is why we have this group. NOT to divert attention from real issues by pointing at sources and then ignoring the issues, for that people can go to GD.
But to consider the issues, the sources, what it all means and mostly to try to figure out how to get the Corporatists out of our party and replace them with Progressive Dems who actually care about the people.
