When Can Democrats Have "The Talk" About Corruption? [View all]

I consider myself more of a "REAL Democrat" than most people. My problem is the fact that so many "politicians" in my party are in my opinion corrupt to varying degrees. From oil, to coal, to Wall Street. I am not naming names. We all know what I am talking about.

The game sucks where they/we have to beg for money from the wealthy for campaigns, and then have to pay back the contributors with favors, tax loopholes, and pro-billionaire legislation on a daily basis.

I don't think these Democrats are necessarily "bad" but they still take the money, and make sure they don't do anything to upset the cash flow. I am sure they feel they have no choice, and for many they are probably right.

I just think we have to have "the talk" about corruption, and how our party can move to look after the citizens more, and the check writers less. Even mentioning corrupt Democrats gets someone labeled a Republican here. That's not right.

The media pretends there is no problem, and that is just as big of a problem.

I see quid pro quo so obvious a dead blind person could see it, and not a peep anywhere. No wonder half of America doesn't vote. Who can blame them?

Please Rec if you want the conversation to start, or put in your 2 cents. Please do not attack our members/candidates directly, that is not my point. There are other threads.....
