      It’s not. Which is why Republicans still manage to become president…

      But you’re thinking about what would be best for the country. Unfortunately a lot of democratic politicians are more concerned about the amount of political donations they will receive.

      And the wealthy have a lot of money to give, but don’t give it to people willing to substantially raise their taxes

      That’s the rub. The people running the political parties care more about getting elected than helping America once elected.

      So they’re going to keep picking their donors over the American public, and the worse Republicans are about it, the worse Dems can be while still (legitimately) being the lesser evil.

      That’s why they hate progressives so much. They’re raising the bar and presenting an option that’s better than:

      Well, it’s us or a Republican, so you have to vote for us.
