They both have their corporate masters. It's just RedPubs run a pro corporate ticket and Democrats have a platform that is perceived as anti corporate. RedPubs get into the office and do exactly what they promised, Democrats get into the office and have to pretend to not bite the hand that feeds too hard (more of a gentle lick).
This is why the Democrats strategy is to lose. They are essentially paid to lose. Corporatism is what is getting in the way of democracy.

they did it to everyone
Sadly 😭 that’s why I can’t take the liberal pearl clutching. They hurt us all - especially those they claim to care about most, minorities of all stripes - with their political malpractice.
2024 lack of primary - this one I blame on Biden. Either he insisted to have the right to run because "this is a tradition, that incumbents run for second term" and/or the party held that view as well.
Every time Dems got owned by Repubs was due to this reliance on tradition
Agree, at the same time, biden didn’t act alone, nearly the entire democrat party establishment and operatives worked to make that happen and block out any real challengers who don’t have brain worms…
That’s why I ended my post with these people get paid way too much to be this stupid, I’m referring to the swamp monsters of the democrat party.
Biden had claimed he would be a transition president, a bridge to the next generation-- an allusion to being a one-term president.
This is from June, just before his debate:

The tone of that article, with the clarity of hindsight, should be obvious to anyone.
I remember that, one of many false promises. But still, the whole DNC apparatus worked alongside him. They had so many opportunities to find other candidates and instead held onto this losing administration because it’s more important that they keep their political operative career than do what’s best for the country.
