problem is. I know I didn't know until relatively recently. I KNEW something was wrong a time went by and no matter how much power we gave them, they always had excuses as to why Democratic policies 'just can't pass'.
So I read somewhere about the infiltration of the party a couple of decades ago by the DLC and learned what their policies were. Then I read more, and all of a sudden, it became clear, I wasn't imagining things, there really was a problem and it explained all the reasons for all the questions I had had.
I guess in that sense I was a 'low information' voter.
I wouldn't underestimate the ability of people who simply don't know things, to learn about them.
OWS did some of the groundwork for us, they highlighted with very succinct phrases the problem of Corporate Control of our government.
I totally agree with making Corporate Money in Politics POISON for a candidate.
As for how to explain the problem to voters who are not aware of what it is, since Wall St is already a bad word for voters, perhaps simply telling them that both parties are being controlled by Wall St, the Dems not yet completely.
And that this Wall St attempt to control our party is the reason why they talk about cuts to SS etc.
Get the money our of our electoral system because it has corrupted it to the point where Wall St is being served by our government, see the Bailouts of corrupt Banks, while Main St is left to fend for itself.
