(39,405 posts)So imagine you work in a big mansion, and some asshole is the majordomo and you're a lowly toilet scrubber.
Are you going to get the top job by telling the owner of the mansion what an asshole his most trusted servant is or getting that servant hauled off to jail?
That would just get you fired or worse.
Instead, you humbly show that you can perform the same duties competently when given the chance, and in the case of the Democrats, showing that they can do a slightly better job of keeping the peasants from burning down the mansion as well.
When seen in that light, Democrats actions make perfect sense.
They don't work for us and make just enough token efforts at appeasing us to keep us voting for them.
But if it came down to losing an election or losing the trust of the financial elite, they will gladly start writing their election night concession speech.
