    The democrat faction of the corporate party only exists to derail and co-opt any actual progressive movements or ideas and channel that energy into pointless electoral ism. The system is working as designed, why change?

      Democrats exist to occupy the left side of the political arena and prevent any actual leftist parties from gaining traction, and to normalize liberalism as the leftmost acceptable political stance in US politics. As far as their donors are concerned, this election was a huge success, and there’s nothing they need to change.

      Yes, regardless of if they win or lose, capitalism is maintained. Winning elections was never the point. That’s why they will never court left wing voters, even if they know full well trying to swing the mythical “moderate” republican will never work.
