Hartmann: Will America break free of the grifters?

In his daily rant he writes that of course the Repugnacon Party is completely bought off by them. But there are quite a few Democorps under their thumb too.

"The entire Republican Party has become one giant in-crowd of professional grifters, most all of them getting rich, getting famous and/or getting laid in the process. [...] This is not to say the Democratic Party doesn’t have its share of grifters (two publicity-hungry senators come to mind).  After all, when the Supreme Court legalized political grifting they didn’t limit it to one party or the other."

He does though give thanks for the Progressive Caucus, who refuse the bribes and stay committed to we the people. He hopes that in the '22 elections we can elect more progressives to have a solid majority to overcome the grifters in the Party. If not it could be the end of our democracy. As always, he puts the responsibility on us to get busy and fight. Tag, you're it.

PS: We cannot wait for the '22 elections because right now the Repugs have enacted severe voter suppression and purging laws. Hence if we do not enact federal legislation NOW like the Freedom to Vote Act then Democrats, let alone progressives, cannot get a majority in Congress. It's why we must do everything to motivate the Senate to either eliminate the filibuster or at least carve out an exception for voting rights legislation. As a famous song once proclaimed: "It's now or never."
