  • Donors did everything they could to keep Biden in. Even after Biden ‘beat medicare’ in his debate with Trump he got backing from the establishment.

    The establishment ditched Biden solely because had no shot at beating Trump. No matter how much he was the perfect ghoul puppet, if he can’t win there’s nothing for his donors to control.

    Both parties are trying to sell votes to the highest bidders. Their goal is to sell out as much as possible while still winning the election. But they are now straddling so close to that line that they need to make compromises.

    Many immigrants tried to vote Democrat in 2020 only to be met with “build the wall”. Muslims loyally voted Democrat and were met with Genocide in Palestine. When politicians don’t get punished for going against their voters interests they only learn to keep doing it. After all why should they listen to their base if they keep voting for them



  • Of course, they all got together to do Islamophobia in unison after 9/11. But what the Bidens ousting proves is that Democrats cannot literally just do whatever they want. There are limits to how hard they can sell out.

    Those limits are set by the amount of people willing to vote for it. The DNC would have 100% ran Biden again if they could manage to get their skeleton puppet re-elected again.

    Democrats changed Biden for the simple reason of people not willing to vote for him. Nobody will get what they want by simply caving for the DNC and voting for them unconditionally. Democrats did not want to change Biden they were forced to listen for votes.

    Not at all. Harris is as much of a corporate ghoul as Biden.

    2019 - ‘More AIPAC Than J Street’: Kamala Harris Runs to the Right on Foreign Policy

    In her very first foreign policy vote in January 2017, for instance, Harris sided with President Trump in criticizing the outgoing President Obama’s refusal to veto an otherwise-unanimous, very modest, and largely symbolic UN Security Council resolution on Israeli settlements. Among other things, that resolution reiterated previous Security Council calls for Israel to stop expanding its illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, which violate the Fourth Geneva Convention and a landmark ruling by the International Court of Justice.
