Yup. The Democratic party leadership is either so inept that they think a strong economy is a replacement for social welfare at home and abroad or they're actively working to fill the same pockets as the right.

They (dem leadership) cave on these shutdowns because they got their PR and they're fine being fascist as the alternative would impact their bank account.

I hope I'm wrong this time, i would be so happy to be wrong, but it seems insane to expect the pattern to change under the same leadership.

Edit: changed my mind on wording.

    LOL 'the leadership'
    It's the whole Dem party, which is one asscheek of the uniparty that is the problem.
    You people wil never learn.
    Trying to 'fix' that party, trying to 'push it to the left' or whatever futile thing you undertake while it's working perfectly the way it's intended.
    This already for centuries and a consistent history of screwing the people and serving their olligarchs.
    Yet americans are incapable of thinking outside their box, don't know better and keep chasing rainbows.
    Pathetic and sad.

    "Dem leadership" is just accessible language for the libs. Otherwise they assume you didn't vote and scream at you for being the problem because the only solution is voting dem and anything else is helping the right.

    It's language deliberately chosen to make a distinction between the party and leadership.
    With the purpose of sneakily and falsely implying the party can be fixed with different leadership.

    It is the same tactics used by Kibbuts Bernie the snake who invariably uses 'the Netanyahoo government' and not israel.
    Falsely implying that when he's gone that genocider country will be a normal democracy.
    He knows very well they have been mass-murdering Palestinians since the beginning and will continue after him.
    Same as the Dems have always screwed their gullible voters and will continue doing so for as long as they exist.
