Do the democrats even want to change for the better? That is the real question...

So, over the past 2 weeks, I've been focusing largely on how the democrats need to change and become more left wing and stuff. But some of my last few posts have been kind of dark, when I really probe the conclusions of the arguments and observations I'm making. It's like, they don't want to change. That the democratic party is a corporatist party just like the republicans, and our two party system is one of controlled opposition. We can yell and scream for change all we want, and maybe they'll move extremely incrementally on the matter to get enough people to shut up, but in the end, it seems to me none of them have any real interest in changing. The second a threat like Sanders appears that would force them to change, they squash him like a bug. They try to push their agenda via their control of the media and army of attack trolls online, and they simply don't care what we think. That seems to be the thing. They just don't care what people think. Anyone who gets in their way is squashed, and anyone who tries to push too harm for change is ignored.

It's really the most reasonable explanation for all I've seen since the beginning of this election cycle 2 years ago. I see a party intent on protecting its interests and its brand, not caring what people actually think. I mean, they throw people a bone and pretend to care, but push, at most extremely insufficient and incremental change that goes nowhere near far enough to solve the problem. And then tells us to accept that or else. It's like they don't even care. They're doing what they want to do, and they got us right where they want us. Like Clinton, they say one thing publicly, and do another thing privately, hoping the public doesn't notice.

In the end, they're just as bad as the GOP, they're just not as open about it.

Maybe they don't want to change, and maybe they'll never change. That's a horrifyingly sobering thought to me, but it does seem to fit the fact that they are so involved in controlled opposition and appearing to be the good guy while actually doing little to fix the plight of the people. This is not Roosevelt's party any more, this is something else, something whose motives are much more questionable....

I mean, what do we do moving forward if this is the case? Keep voting democrat in the primaries and green in the general election? Seems like all we can really do here, and hope more people catch on and are willing to do something about the issues themselves...
