Neoliberals haven’t been losing elections… leftists have. Republicans are deeply corrupt. Private interest groups will forever be trying to influence all politicians. For example, progressives like Fetterman and Sinema. That won’t change until citizens untied is undone. Leftists aren’t immune to it and pretending that it indicates “both sides r same” is a bad faith argument that the GOP has been using for decades. Both parties do not have the same goals and just because private interest groups will never stop trying to influence them doesn’t mean the parties themselves have the same goals.

> Neoliberals haven’t been losing elections… leftists have. Big laugh from this. This country is locked into a two party system and one of them unfortunately isn't "leftist". Same with a bunch of other political ideologies. Either way, taking the stance of "you're losers, so you better vote for us" is *really* convincing, just sayin. If you want leftists to vote dem like they are a monolith, then dems have to act like a monolith and not like a bucket catching scraps. > Both parties do not have the same goals and just because private interest groups will never stop trying to influence them doesn’t mean the parties themselves have the same goals. They take money from the same oligarchs. They hide donor sources through superpacs. They trade stocks with government intel. They harbor incredible resentment for the poor. They throw our tax dollars at bombs used to kill children. How exactly are their goals that different?
