The thing is, there's no party membership. You can just say you're a Democrat and run as a Democrat. But for the DNC to just shrug and go, "That's ol Joe!" is an insult to every worker in this country. And we have no media willing to call this shit out for what it is: bipartisanship on the side of corporate greed.
