The Corporate Democrats, led by Hillary Clinton, are exposing their Plutocracy Playbook in a vivid glare, to anyone who is paying attention. The "politics of envy". "Vilifying the rich". Larry Summers, we told you we don't want you any more. We blocked your nomination to the Fed, thanks be to God. Go away.
How utterly pathetic. These people are so tone-deaf. They don't get that the American People don't envy the rich. The American People are sick and tired of being ripped off and preyed upon by a bunch of sociopaths and their so-called "elite" enablers.
Progressives need to build upon the Game is Rigged message to include this: You're Being Ripped Off Every Day by racketeers in collusion with governors, senators, local, state, federal office-holders of all sorts. This is the Political Struggle of Our Time.
We need Progressive Reform Democrats to bring the Party back to its senses.
We shall not be silent. We shall not be polite to gangsters.
We shall Demand Reform.
This is the message, people. Tell stories every single day, true stories, that illustrate these ideas. How do corporations collude with legislators to rip you off? Look at ALEC! An amazingly successful program. ALEC has captured state-level lawmaking in what? Half the country? More? How much legislation passed under your inattentive noses actually rips you off in favor of the 1%?
It's only been a few years and already everyone has forgotten the bank bailouts with no-strings. The socialization of loss. The privatization of profit. The raiders of the public purse are enabled by the whores of Congress.
No one likes to be ripped off. Tell it to the People.
So many progressive writers talk about movements and creating movements, but no one is doing anything! Virtual communities do not approach the depth, the necessary presence of flesh-and-blood people meeting in groups.
Whatever happened to Organize - Educate - Agitate?
The NeoLiberal Program attempts to isolate individuals on the atomic level. Go to work. Watch TV. Don't rock the boat.
How about instead you meet with like-minded neighbors every week and run your own candidates?
And guess what? How about praising good businesses? We are not anti-business. We are anti-gangster. Business should be organized for the benefit of the people and society, not for the benefit of a few criminals.
Economic Justice is our Demand.
Hillary Clinton cannot ignore our Demand.
Equal Justice Under Law. That is our Demand.
That sacred principle has been made a mockery by the failure of the Justice Department to bring individual banksters to trial on criminal charges.
The Social Contract has been shredded by the 1% and their Puppets.
Wall Street Democrats are enablers of an out-of-control cabal that, in the wake of the Citizens United decision, have simply bought themselves a government.
Well, guess what? The Government belongs to the People.
The People are Rising.
