How can anyone reform the democratic party

4. My feeling about politicians in general now is that they are not my friends or family. They

are elected by the people to do certain things. When they don't, they deserve criticism.

Anything I would object to from a Republican, such as cabinet appointees eg, I will object to from a Democrat.

I got over 'loving' politicians after fighting so hard for Clinton against Bush supporters for years, even after he was out of office, they were obsessed with him. I received death threats, personal attacks etc but was so defensive on his behalf it didn't matter.

Then I learned of his close relationship with the Bush family, saw him using his popularity to try to rehabilitate Bush and felt totally betrayed.

I feel it is the duty of every citizen to criticize politicians when they are supporting policies that are harmful to the people who elect them.

I can't 'like' a politician who isn't working for the people, or dislike him/her for that matter.

But we are encouraged to grow personally attached to politicians. I fell for it once but won't do so again.

Obama has done some good things, but overall he has been more of a friend to Wall St than to the people who elected him.

I have asked this question repeatedly, but where are the Progressive Dems in his cabinet? I can list all the Republicans and Corporate CEOS, but I can't come up with one, other than Van Jones who 'retired' after a ridiculous attack from Breitbart due to poll he signed once, yet people like Clapper who LIED to Congress are still there.

Focus from now on should be Congress anyhow, the WH has already been coopted by Corporate interests and only Congress can block their agenda.
