    Because the Democratic Party serves the same masters as the GOP. They exist to make sure that a large enough majority maintains faith in the system to keep the populace from revolting. They serve a secondary purpose of capturing and neutering any social movements that might create a danger to the Wall St agenda.

    Note that “governing” and “policy” are not part of their purpose.

        A most erudite rebuttal. You’ve made a very convincing argument (that you don’t know shit about politics except what you see on cable news and you think it’s just another team sport).

        Lol, what action taken by either party in the last thirty years gave you the impression either of them serve their voters?

            So nothing at all, but your fifth grade civics textbook said that’s how it works, so there’s obviously no need to interrogate that further?
