Dear Reader - Here findeth thee an essay on why the current
configuration of the Democratic Party cannot sustain itself into
the future. Hint - its economic ideology is fundamentally
indistinguishable from the Republicans. Michael Hudson is a

touchpaper.
The
Meaning of Obama's Win
By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them
by MICHAEL HUDSON
The Democrats could
not have won so handily without the Citizens United ruling.
That is what enabled the Koch Brothers to spend their
billions to support right-wing candidates that barked and

option but to vote for “the lesser evil.” This will be
President Obama’s epitaph for future historians.
Orchestrating the election like a World Wrestling Federation
melodrama, the Tea Party’s sponsors threw billions of
dollars into the campaign to cast the President’s party in
the role of “good cop” against stereotyped opponents
attacking women’s rights, Hispanics and nearly every other
hyphenated-American interest group.
