📺 Why the Democratic Party CANNOT and WILL NOT be Reformed
Democrats would rather lose to a Republican, to a conservative, to a fascist, to Trump, than address the material conditions of the American people.

Is anyone understanding yet that the status quo is that elected officials report to a group of influential people who have selected them because they can be controlled and that is all?

It's true that the people with the power would rather their controllable opponent win an election than a candidate in their own party who has ideas of their own.

Until that can be remedied, democracy is truly afflicted by ophiocordyceps unilateralis.
