if you think they're operating at a net loss for our net benefit, your either one of them and are doing the mental gymnastics required to move like they do or you just don't actually look at them with even the minimal scrutiny.
but sure, let's pretend they don't fix policies to always win at the stock market or have accountants to minimize their taxes. only making policies that are mutually beneficial for the upper class is still being a shitty politician who is not serving the people.
So you're saying the billionaires are controlling the entire Democratic party, and making them pass progressive reforms that help workers, and that's somehow going to make them richer?
The simpler explanation is that they don't control the entire party, just a few key people at high level positions. They tell those key people to sabotage the election strategy so that the progressive idealists at the lower levels can't pass genuine reforms. That's the controlled opposition strategy.
The controlled opposition strategy doesn't work if the people vote D.
just stop right there. you're an adult. try to talk like one.
unfortunately if your leadership is compromised, your party is compromised. As an example, here's special golden boy Joe Biden moving congress to break a strike. Of course it's just easier to buy him than it is to buy the whole party. Many will toe the line for free.
My benevolent brother in Christ above, the DNC is the controlled opposition. They are functioning as intended
How can you tell someone to talk like an adult and then bring this childish meme out in the same comment...
I am, among other things an asshole. Don't like being told what I'm saying so I set out to provoke a specific reaction. No, I feel less cool about it now.
