“The Democratic Party: A Summary The Democratic Party is the lightning rod of discontent. It adapts itself to radical movements more readily than the Republicans. It bends. It is flexible. And one of its main functions is to prevent the formation of a genuine people’s party, a party that would express the interests of the working people, of the oppressed people’s, and of all the sectors of our population interested in peace and fundamental social change. (Not shown in image) And so it accepts reform –as much as necessary but as little as possible – in order to calm the people’s anger, to coopt the people’s leaders, and ride out the storm until the crisis has passed. It then gradually curtails those reforms and cuts back programs in the people’s interest.”-Joe Kaye, The Crime of Impunity, The Crime of Punishment -- source link
