Jackson was screwed in 88 (84 too, but that was more of a protest campaign), but after? He basically sold out and went all-in the DLC machine. Granted, it was not in good faith that the Democrats incorporated Jackson and his son into their machine — they were deathly afraid of him running against Clinton in 96 or Gore in 00 — but it happened. Jesse Jackson has done a lot of great things in his career, but he's always been corrupt.
