Agreed. I believe that Democrats have been co-opted and have just given in to the corporate forces that influence/control the repugs. Thus in some ways, I almost hate them as much as repugs. I actually agree with some of the crankier elements around here that want to hold Obama to the fire as well as all of our other elected Dems.

Now this does create a problem for us. The Democrats are the Big Tent Party, with wildly divergent interests. This can make us look weak and disorganized. Add to this, the capitulation of our party leaders to repugs and corporate iterests, and the fairly successful effort by the repugs to intimidate us through phony conservative movements and the MSM, the Dems DO seem very weak and disorganized.

Now, if we really want to take our country back, how do we change this?
