And what about the campaign finance reform and democracy bonds program I mention? Seems to me those fit the bill of what you are saying. That is my point. Democrats are heading in the right direction. Notice I give examples of Democrats who are a problem and the fact that Democrats go after corrupt Democrats. That is a HUGE difference between the parties. To lump them together in that Green way is just plain not accurate. I in no way forgave Democrats their corruption. I point out that the levels of corruption are vastly different, that Democrats do actually go after their corrupt members (I am part of such a movement and we have slowly, very slowly, been winning here in Brooklyn), and I point out that Democrats are pushing some ideas that address some of the underlying issues.

And yet the only responses are the same old "a plague on both your houses" responses. I just can't buy THAT. That is essentially the talking point that desperate Republicans have resorted to. I point out the key differences--less corruption, rejecting corrupt members of the party, and working for reform both in terms of legislation and in terms of changes with how the party raises money. That is a far cry from the Republicans who embrace corruption and protect even their most corrupt members. Equating them is inaccurate.
