America For Sale: Obama's Leaked Doc Exposes Foreign Corporations' Radical New Powers

As an old OLD liberal Democrat, active within the Democratic Party for decades, I'm here to tell you that the Democratic Party is controlled by corporatio­ns just as the Republican Party is.  

A vote for any registered Democrat is a vote for the status quo, more of the same, of Democratic politician­s working in the interests of corporatio­ns over the people's interests.  Even progressiv­e candidates get their orders from the party elites -- Progressiv­e candidates may talk a good game, but if their votes are needed or wanted to pass pro-corpor­ate legislatio­n, they will abandon their alleged conviction­s and fall in lockstep with the party.  Remember Dennis Kucinich and the public option.  His vote wasn't even needed, but Obama wanted the issue crushed.

We're not limited to voting for just Democrats and Republican­s. There are other alternativ­es besides sitting out the election or voting for Republican­s. There are other candidates running as independen­ts, from Green to Libertaria­n, in just about every race, including the top of the ticket.  If for no other reason than to get the 5 percent that is necessary for getting a seat at the table, I think that may be enough for great numbers of Democratic voters this time around.
