Wow. The number of negative comments here surprises me. There actually has been a concerted effort of both parties for decades to embrace Wall Street and neoliberalism. Bernie Sanders was blocked from running for President by the Democratic Party. He could have won against Trump in 2016 if the Democratic Party hadn’t betrayed what many Democrats and Independents were saying was the popular trend. Hillary Clinton was a neoliberal. Her mentor was Henry Kissinger - a war criminal. Obama was a believer in the Chicago School of Economics - the home of Milton Friedman’s philosophy that was embraced by Reagan and began destroying everything that FDR had enacted.

We must tell the truth about the Democratic Party if real change is ever going to happen - and this author is speaking factual truth about what the majority of elected Democrats allowed to happen that harmed democracy. Even if most elected Democrats didn’t actually “want” democracy’s take-down to happen - they didn’t actively stop it from happening. As has been said - “Democrats bring a soup ladle to a knife fight”. Major opportunities to counter fascism’s rise have been met by Democrats holding a soup ladle.

Please consider what this author is saying.

Nah, I call BS on this. The whole point of Dems is to maintain a democracy regardless. The entire admin. of 47 is comprised of wht supremists/wht nationalists, far rt. extreme Xstian nationalists & Neo reactionists. They all have some commonalities for the end goal they are trying to achieve (such as dismantling the entire system & putting those like them in their place, getting rid of the universities, all things “woke”, immigrants, LGBTQ+, etc.) This is what is binding them to stick together in a grp. effort to make this once in a lifetime chance for them happen. Heritage Foundation has had this goal since it was founded in the 70’s! I highly doubt that any Dems want a monarchy w/no real laws or regulations on anything & womens rights taken away, etc.
