(5,276 posts)That's really how it's been recently - I'm not really enthusiastically voting for most democrats, instead it's really making the best of a bad situation. Obama is in bed with Wall Street, as is Hillary. It's the corporate wing, big bucks wing, of the democratic party, the Rahm Emmanual wing.
Hillary has been heard veering a little more left lately (trying to fend off Liz?) but...Obama talks a very good populist game in campaign mode as well. His actions once in power - center right on most things.
It was telling when word leaked out that Obama was upset that Elizabeth Warren dare ask hard questions of Wall Street Titans. Really?
We need a rebirth of real actual populist democrats or - a viable third party on the left. Unless you're fine with the democrats beholden to the Bankster crooks who almost crashed our whole economy once more - as they bankrupted people and pensions.
