    The democrat answer is always to blame & shame the voters, leftists & progressives for their losses.

    But what democrats won’t ever do is represent the interests of the people, they can’t. Democrats take bribes from rich donors who have interests that conflict with the voters.

    Voters want universal healthcare, rich donors do not. Voters want free college, rich donors do not. Voters want the genocide in Gaza to end, rich donors do not. There’s many more examples, but democrats have to walk a tight rope.

    If the democrats cater to the voters, they lose the rich donors. If they cater to the rich donors, they lose the voters. So democrats have been pandering to their rich donors while pushing optics as if they support the voters. But it’s always a lie.

    When democrats take power, they implement miniscule change that expires or is easily reversed to appease the voters while still doing the bidding of the donors. But as the voter’s need for change grows, the less that democrats want to win.

    Winning means being in charge, which means pressure to implement change. Rich donors don’t want that change, so democrats deliberately lose.

    Democrats would rather be a minority party that soaks up donations rather than be the majority party and have to actually govern and fix things.

      I wish more people understood this fact, especially when it comes to voting.

      The only way to truly fix this is to change campaign finance laws, Citizens United, and all the other supporting cases that led to the situation we are in.

      This entire comment is just pure delusional? You’re claiming Dems never want to fix anything?

      Tell me, who the last Republican to leave office with a good economy according to the general public? And we’ll start there.
