One Dollar One Vote

Thinking about the divergent reactions of the GOP [smug delight] and the Dem [feigned horror] politicians to the Supreme Court's carte blanche homage to overt corporate bribery:

Perhaps corporations will still feel obligated to back both party horses just in case. But if it is true that as a result of this ruling, Democrats will lose more future elections, then it serves them right - for refusing to filibuster Roberts and Alito's nominations to the court, for compromising on the bill of rights violations and on healthcare and oversight and the constitutional balance of powers and voting machines and impeachment of the prior administration….

Third parties like to claim that there is no real difference between the Republicans and the Democrats. The Supreme Court has made it possible for everyone to recognize it. The Party that Wrecked America shall return full force to finish their smashing job. The Party that Betrayed America will demonstrate their true allegiance - to the perks of elected office - by switching their party registration to Republican. From federal to state to locally elected officials, to the voters employed by a more powerful corporate plutocracy, the 'Southern strategy' effect on party affiliation may soon spread across the whole country.
