I guess corporate personhood rules the day, as usual.
JG wonders:
So, the Supreme Court just ruled in favor of unrestricted corporate donations to political candidates. This ruling comes just after a season in which the Democrats proved (once again) that they are loyal servants of big capital. Yes, the Supreme Court ruling is merely the coup de grace in an entrenched process by which corporate power decisively molds public opinion and determines political outcomes. And yes, the DP has always been a faithful water carrier for big capital -- as well as an apparatus for demobilizing social movements, while (very) occasionally attending to some of their demands. But I ask you, has a qualitiatively new stage of degeneration been breached? (Most) devout opponents of lesser evilism seem to think that third party organizing is virtually hopeless, even as they scoff at the discliplining effect of "being realistic."
