Well, the corporate party's Democrats regularly do get the job done, one way another.

It's the function of Democrats to either moderate or exterminate any movement that rises up from the Left.

Oakland's repressive government is solidly Democrat:

Mayor: Jean Quan (D)
CA Senate: Loni Hancock (D)
CA Assembly: Nancy Skinner (D)
Sandre Swanson (D)
Mary Hayashi (D)
US Congress: Barbara Lee (D)

From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
