Um, "fighting" Donald Trump.

But Republicans and Democrats are completely different parties.

It's basically a way for the ruling class to see whether they can be more blatant on their exploits.

Every republican win means the people can stomach more of the squeezes.

Don't worry, I'm sure that if moderate Democrats succeed in their rabid crusade against Zohran and he gets defeated then they'll turn around and say it was because we didn't back Cuomo 1000% and without criticism, going back through your comment history and quoting this comment back to you every time you share any political opinion whatsoever.

But they're super serious about opposing Trump, pinky promise.

It wasn't blue on blue. It was vested interests Vs a genuine candidate. The state of NY voted trump in, not because they like him, because they didn't want the democrat party. This party as a tool of the corporations is finished. You're watching its death throes.

This is the most optimistic take I've seen and I like it.

Bought and paid for and unwilling to lose their power at any cost it seems.

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Most of the people we're talking about are either members of the house or senate in our federal government. And our current system makes it very difficult to win or keep those specific seats unless you're willing to be bought and paid for. Those who don't do as they're told will get primaried by an opponent who is much better funded. It is a system that is specifically set up to choose corrupt politicians.

We desperately need campaign finance reform, but none of those politicians who are bought and paid for are going to honestly support it. Realistically, I don't see any way that we'll see it unless there is an overwhelming popular sentiment in favor of it. Where everybody is truly upset about it and politicians' hands are forced out of fear. But I don't see that happening in America any time soon, when half the country is voting Republican.
