Good article. I think I posted somewhere else about the reality of what the major political parties in the U.S. Our perception, or rather the popular perception is that the parties are representative of some ideological or philosophically principled organizations who truly have the well being of the people at heart. Another way of viewing the parties is as corporations who are competing to sell us a product; that product being a politician, a policy or an idea. Wasserman-Schultz is no different than any CEO of a corporation. Her job is to get people elected who will best sell the product. The problem is that both parties have now chosen to take money from other major corporations that want their product, agenda, policies, pushed to the front of the line. These corporations have more money than traditionally Democrat constituents like labor, minorities, civil rights groups or peace groups. Democrats still pander to these constituents but as we saw with the current occupant of the White House he kept the most influencial Democratic constituent out of the process from the very start. Obama threw labor under the bus not only on the ACA but in the drafting of the TPP. Who has benefitted from 8 years of Obama? Follow the money.
