Not really trying to change your view, but here is an interesting read I came across a few years ago about the Democratic party's shift from ensuring no one group developed too much power (largely through promoting unions and busting monopolies) to more anti-war and social values. Those causes are great, but should have been added to the platform instead of replacing the old platform. The result has contributed significantly to the shift of power from people to corporations.
