You say that as though the Democrats haven’t been the soulless powerhungry populist corruption party since day one. Remember Tammany Hall?

Why is he hosting Voldemort's head on the back of his head? Has the timeline backpeded and all of sudden we're all watching the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets again?

Most of the actual urban centers in those places are Democrat, they’re not actually run by Republicans. How are New Orleans or Birmingham doing?

I'm not defending the democratic party, I'm just observing that social democrats have little to no power inside of it. It's completely dominated by neo-lib shite since the Clinton era, and practically all of them are corrupt through campaign contributions. Fetterman, on paper, is better than %95 of them
