(28,529 posts)as Republicans because they are controlled by wealthy donors, billionaires, oligarchs, corporations. That they're terrified of what are in reality the usual liberal Democratic issues of equality, higher wages, jobs, strong social safety net, affordable education, health care, housing, environmental protection, campaign finance reform, taxing the wealthy and corporations, etc. -- claiming these are democratic socialist issues that Democrats know nothing about and despise because they abandoned the working class for Wall St. and are all establishment elites who only care about money, that all dysfunction in politics is about money and everyone is corrupt (Them) except for the morally pure (Us).
Just saw one of the leaders of the fantasy say that Democrats must make a choice which side they're on and gave example of health care as a human right and not a privilege. Democrats have been saying that since the '70s (Ted Kennedy's fiery speeches from then are on YouTube) and it's been in the party platform since 1992.
A fictional Democratic Party as enemy. Only helps Republicans.
