    Because Democrats are complicit in everything that Republicans do. Democrats exist to create the appearance of opposition, while in reality both parties serve the interests of the wealthy. Uncovering the wealthy class’s depraved deeds does not serve those interests, which is why neither party really wants that.

      We need to delineate here. It’s not all Democrats, it’s ones that are taking corporate, AIPAC and other dark money. Grassroots campaigns are the only successful way to get candidates that represent working class constituents because that’s where the money comes from. This all goes back to Citizen’s United, which was the largest attack on democracy in my lifetime.

        When I say Democrats here what I mean is the party leaders and the politicians who align with them (that is, the vast majority of them). There can be individuals who run as Democrats who don’t align with the party, but the party leadership is actively against them. For instance, Zohran Mamdani’s run was opposed by Democrat party leadership. He’s more of an independent than a true Democrat.
