No. Too many of them are simply business owners, lawyers, doctors, military people etc. All people with no history of opposition or struggle and entirely in line with whatever the status quo happened to be at the time. It's no surprise that they're entirely failing to meet the moment. They were elected because they had good political consultants, met the right people in college, or were the best at assuring donors they wouldn't rock the boat. Not for their organizing skills. --- I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black. ...

The Democrats are a big tent party that includes every politician who isn't extreme enough to be a Republican. The party doesn't recruit new candidates based on ideology, but by how much money they can potentially raise for the party apparatus. This means any grifter can show up with a spotless record and a briefcase full of money and the party will back them up. It is very easy to infiltrate Democrats, especially when you rack up seniority later on. --- "But who prays for Satan?

You don't need to turn every democrat. You only need to turn like, 3. Because the GOP is a death Cult, they'll always fall in line, and take up like, bare minimum 48/100 Senate seats. So they'll basically always be able to shut down anything progressive from happening, and if they don't have the numbers they only need like, 2 dems to turncoat and vote against the progressive thing. The problem is that the Democrats are a huge mismatch of people who actually want to improve things, and stupid corpo-consultant types who are Democrats entirely because it is the beneficial thing to do at the moment, and are completely subservient to the exact same big money the republicans have completely bowed down to. The latter group doesn't care about doing anything productive, and are the group that is constantly caving in to the Right. But because the system is broken, these people are also predominantly the old fossils that are leading the Democratic Party, and so have a ton of power to stop anything worthwhile happening. Its not to say its impossible for Dems to do anything progressive, but there's just a much more powerful force pushing them to basically do little and let things get worse, but quietly. ...

In particular, as long as the D donor class dominates the party on economic issues, then fake populism from the fascist right will continue to win in elections vs. "business as usual". That said, the "both sides" types are so fucked in the head they should just drop their pretense of being civilized and join MAGA like they so clearly want to do. --- "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.
