What democratic principles?

It took me a long time to realize that both parties are the same, they sell their baloney differently. I really thought the Democratic party was different, but I was wrong, they are just as bad as the republican party if not worse. The leadership of the DNC is also very weak, and I don’t feel comfortable with these people running the country.

The Democratic party (with the help of their media friends) has been effective in portraying the Republican party as a racist and sexist, but the they themselves have provided a haven for sexists and racists. They prey on the fears of women and minorities; Roe V Wade, Welfare, public schools etc. There is nothing progressive about the Democratic party.

The party has projected this nonexistent egalitarian front which I naively bought into. I was very idealistic. I thought the party would come up with ideas to help move the country forward:

An America that works for everyone. An America that celebrates and embraces our differences. An America that also celebrates the things we have in common. An America with opportunities for the rich and poor. An America where individuals are only limited by their imaginations, etc.

Is the American dream still possible?
