Reply #27: So foolish [View All]

First, in terms of participating in the political system, I would refer you to the comments in response to eridani, below.

Second, in answer to your question about what's important in terms of the Democrats, I would say it is the question of which class is calling the shots (i.e., "who controls the Democratic Party institutionally"), not the ideology of the members. In fact, I have said time and again that, if the rank-and-file of the Democratic Party tossed out the agents of Big Capital and sought to transform themselves into a labor party, I would be one of the first signing up to build it -- regardless of the "ideology" the members themselves hold. As the saying goes, you cannot serve two masters.

As for the rest, you are welcome to keep "your own" (well, it's really not your own; you're simply borrowing it from the capitalists) ideology to yourself.
