Yeah, the corporate entity called the Democratic Party only cares about soliciting donations. Both parties are legally entrenched and moated from competition by difficult ballot-access standards they introduced themselves, propped up by subservient media institutions, who portray the two parties as inevitable and natural.
There are well-intentioned people (in both parties? Sure, let’s be kind) but they don’t hold power and must play by the rules of the corporate party leadership.
As long as donations come in, everyone has income. As long as democrats lose close elections, donations flow. As long as there’s some DINO or Blue Dog to ruin a Democrat majority, they can keep whipping up votes and donations (“We need a bigger majority next time! And please send cash”) As long as Republicans legislate unpopular policies when they’re in control, donations flow in on the promise to fight back.
