Great - corporate centrism vs corporate right-wingers. And the majority of people suffering from the virus threat, the decimated economy and racist thug cops is just supposed to swallow this shit and accept it as an alternative? No thanks!
I hold liberals accountable for this shit show. Ralph Nader - not a socialist but a lifelong honest progressive Democrat, felt abandoned by the "New" Democrats - the Clintons, Gore, Biden Kerry - the ones who no longer appealed to labor and Black America but to the high tech barons and law firms. Who can forget their DLC - Democratic Leadership Council, which was correctly derided by Jesse Jackson who called them Democrats for the Leisure Class! Nader had the guts and principles to oppose these Democrats by running against Gore in 2000 and held a sold out rally at Madison Square Garden. This had the potential for the creation of a true alternative to the corporate duopoly, but the Democrats slandered him for being responsible for W Bush's stolen "victory" and most liberals (Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon) capitulated and "learned their lesson". That's where we are today - accusing those who call for a left alternative as being "secret Trump supporters". Pathetic!
