(17,644 posts)28. " Democrats has performed better at the task"
For decades I would say this was true but currently I am starting to have my doubts.
Almost like Rats jumping the sinking ship, more and more Dems are voting down the corporate line right along with the Ratpublicons. I believe not until the average American starts to wake up to the reality of Corporate Take Over, Wealth exclusively at the top 1%, and get back to the anger at the Wealthy Elite like we had in the early 1990s, where they were too scared to be seen riding in a limousine. Then change won't be possible.
And of course our children and grandchildren will pay the ultimate price
