I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Democrats, Republicans, it’s all good as long as everyone is pulling in the same direction: transferring wealth from natural, human, and government resources into corporate ownership.
Evolutionary pressures are inevitably going to turn them to using the two most effective but distinct strategies for exploiting and controlling voters that can exist. As soon as techniques more effective than, “win by allowing the voters to educate themselves and vote their conscience,” were developed, mass democracy was fucked.
And that’s why the Democrats just might be more dangerous than the Republicans.
And that is absolute nonsense.

Dems have always been more dangerous, they hide among the marginalized as allies until they are ready to strike
