Well, look at what happens even in liberal hotbeds like NYC and San Fransisco. Democrats are so obsessed with appeasing wealthy reactionaries that they'll do obnoxiously anti-popular moves like Hochul delaying congestion pricing (what a turn of face that's been) and Dianne Feinstein raising a Confederate Flag above the mayor's office.

How else do you get a crook like Eric Adams or Henry Cuellar or Bob Menendez in these positions of entrenched power without the party endlessly running cover for them. Fucking sickening.
