    democrats fight hard to keep the status quo to get money from their donors.

    I’m not kidding, everything about the Democrats starts making sense when you look at them through this lens, right down to their praising Nancy Pelosi for her fundraising ability. They don’t care about votes as long as they get their money.

    Fighting for the people means they lose the capitalists that want to make profit from those people without intervention, so they won’t do it except to the extent that it keeps up the appearance of being a viable party. Anything else would be bad for business.

    They can’t be anti-war and anti-genocide because they won’t get money from weapons manufacturers and other war profiteers.

    They can’t be anti-oil or anti-coal because they won’t get money from the wealthiest profiteers of the energy sector.

    They can’t fight for public transport because they would lose the automotive industry.

    They can’t go after landlords and their vacant homes (instead choosing to address the housing crisis through exclusionary benefits and deregulation) because they will lose the real estate moguls.

    They can’t fight for universal healthcare because they will lose the insurance and healthcare executives.

    They can’t allow third parties to be viable because it would encroach on their fundraising.

    And they absolutely cannot name the economic recession for what it is or challenge republicans by giving real reasons for it because they would have to attack their donors to do so.

    The only moment any of this changes is when their gaslighting ceases to work on the voters, and they make concessions in order to remain relevant. But they will always return to form as soon as the voters divert their attention, which makes the Republican spectacle actually really convenient for them. So it also makes a lot of sense why the Democrats would have propped up Trump for the 2016 election, and then re-hired the same campaign managers that lost that election for the 2024 election.

    All this to say; the Democrats are not the answer. Do not fall for their rhetoric.
