MODERATORS
No they want to appear to regulate capital. Most of the time they don't actually want to regulate it. Yes they won't be as overt as to do the massive wealth transfers they the republicans do . But they will. Who was president in 08 ? Who continued to dump money into our military contracts despite running as anti war?
Like yeah the parties are different domestically but foreign policy wise the outcomes are usually the same.
Most right wing policies done by Democrats are necessary because of the electoral college. There is resistance from the right, and Democrats working within the unfair rules need to appease these swing state voters through compromise. Those compromises are ugly and unfair. It's not usually because they want to appease billionaires. But definitely there is corruption on both sides. Just 10x as much on the right.
Unless that compromise is "don't commit genocide", then they'll happily abaondon the swing-state voters.
How did you quantity that 10x times?
My best naïve estimate puts Democrats at 1.44-1.98x as corrupt.
😂 I mean for one, the entire presidential election was purchased by a few rich people who used disinformation tactics. Then taxes for the rich were eradicated at the expense of everyone else. That's the exact opposite of the Democrat's political ideology. I should say 1000x. I'll call it "orders of magnitude" instead.
So where did you get 1.98?
Answer the question, genocide denier. How did you quantify 10x times? Or 1000x?
No, it's exactly Democrat political ideology.

Where do you get that idea?
