The Democratic Party is, ironically, still certain that using insincere public relations strategies can solve growing public distrust/disgust of their political elite con-men. Their neoliberal methodology for appealing to voters with a conscience uses the 'Pokemon' method: collect one of every kind of minority to claim becoming more "diverse"- while still representing war, crony capitalism, and all 1% interests.
That's all Obama's divisive race or Hillary's faux feminism was, just superficial packaging lulling an ignorant, gullible citizenry into believing that either wing of the Corporate Oligarchy Party is in any way representative to the masses. Via unlimited funds and media connections, loudly advocating equality is an easy facade to protect duopoly-shared policies of wage slavery, profit over people, and violence.
We're told to honor, have pride in, and give preferential treatment to citizens volunteering as willing tools of record-unpopular politicians driving American arms sales. Yet we're simultaneously coached that it's normal and necessary to drone bomb children of countries who have never attacked us, and to ignore our foreign policy of eliminating all the 'terrorist' parents we declare ourselves morally superior to.
See, like America's political system itself, Democrat Equality is solely superficial salesmanship. Real change (third parties or grass-roots activists) get quickly labeled as Dangerous Extremism- as opposed to the current status quo of prioritizing daily killings over lowering our staggering childhood poverty and prison populations. Both parties frame narrow false narratives where petty agendas remain relevant.
We are currently ruled by ignorance, fear, and force. There is no valid reason to take pride in this. A legacy's only as good as the actual value lasts, no matter how great the original branding. The Mustang II was an ugly hatchback. Democrats are corporate puppets propped up by pledged lobbyist superdelegates and spin. And our USA is a self-denying Christian taliban, representing all it claims to stand against.
The first step to solving any problem is admitting it. Our imperialist culture and economic rule of egotistic greed is neither defensible nor sustainable.
