7. the Dem leadership has more in common with the repukes

than with the Dem constituency.

they don't represent labor; they represent capital (corporations)

they don't represent social justice; they represent the status quo (elite capitalists in power)

they don't represent the environment; they represent corporate polluters

Also, the progressive base is fragmented, disorganized and is averse to consolidating and exercising power. The RW wackos have been organizing tirelessly for a generation and have no compunction about using their power.
