And instead of working to improve the party through Democratic channels
It is very clear that the Democratic Party, as a generalization, rarely serves the interests of those in the Party.
The insidious part is they will still play the game, say the right buzz words, make sweeping statements and propose legislation that appears to be on the right track until you read all the compromise amendments.
Interesting how, over the last 20 years, the poor and middle-class have got poorer and the rich not just wealthy but mega-wealthy.
That, until very recently, it was not considered insider trading for members of congress to invest in companies in a manner that will benefit them most depending how they vote on a particular bill. FYI, they
have, both Democrats and teapublicans. The STOCK Act was meant to curb it and was signed with great fanfare and a full room in 2013 but was mostly defanged in a new bill that was signed into law by PBO little more than a year later to an empty room and little acknowledgement.
Goal post and moving and inconsistent funding when it comes to alternative energy R&D, climate change denial falsified fuel efficiency standards. The rich keep getting richer but the poor and middle-class keep footing the bill.
I could go on for pages but most of you could care less about what I have to say if you are even still reading at this point.
At the end of the day, it boils down to one point for me:
It's easy to talk about virtues of compromise when you are not the one being compromised.
