But the so-called "most dangerous section of the ruling class" was fully supported by the Democratic Party in everything it did. The Democrats voted for the war, for the USA PATRIOT Act, etc.
It was under the Democrat Bill Clinton that we got Welfare "Reform." It was under Clinton where we got the Defense of Marriage Act, NAFTA, the Iraqi Liberation Act, Antiterrorism and Effective
Death Penalty Act, etc.
I think it *is* mutually exclusive when you support a ruling class party instead of showing people why they should break from the two capitalist parties.
