The progressive wing of the Democratic Party doesn’t take workers for granted. People like Bernie and AOC fight for workers. The corporate Dems do everything they can to keep the progressives from gaining more power.

Yes, and the corporate (and Wall Street) Dems had an outsized influence in the Clinton and Obama administrations.

The biggest Liar painted himself as an outsider. Republican former guy was pandering to the workers and farmers to convince them he was an outsider in Washington. Some seem to believe that still. His wealthy donors knew better. Sadly, it's an old trick.

Most people running for office are told they need a large war chest to even get off the ground. So those who want big donors tailor their messages to be more 'moderate' and stay away from progressive ideas. Or worse, they lie to the voters, like some who have become infamous, and we voters pay the price.
