11. The GOP embraces their protesters and far right spokesmen

The Dems try to stop their grass root protest organizations and will even condemn their far left spokesmen. Look what Obama did with occupy. Only recently have I seen elected Dems go on liberal media shows on YouTube and podcasts.

Instead, Dems try to be mini conservatives and embrace far right economic policy like "free" trade.

But it's really not the fault of the Democratic party. It's how the economic system is rigged. Money makes money. It's never an even playing field. So wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. The few make more capital off their inherited capital. And you can make more capital if you are greedy uncaring, heartless, cruel and a bit stupid. So they are mostly right wing idiots.

And they have most all the wealth and then use it to steal more money. And in a capitalist economy you can die without money so it's value becomes exaggerated. And the right wing idiots then use their money, their stolen loot, to buy up our government.

They are never going to allow their loot to be used for the betterment of all Americans. They use it just for the betterment of themselves because they are a bit stupid. So, they stay away from Democrats because of the 2 parties, the Dems are more likely to help the little guy and not help them get more loot.

But if a Dem acts like a luke warm GOPer, they are more likely to get some of that stolen loot. So, Dems play both sides of the fence, while GOPers just concentrate on the looting.
