Democrats have always been corporatists. The fact that they’re tightening their belts right now doesn’t mean they weren’t corporatists before. There’s a reason why a lot of working class people became disillusioned with the democrats and flocked to the republicans.

Why don’t the Dems do the right thing for once? Especially in California where there’s an overwhelming progressive majority.

Yes, when they still loved the United States under Kennedy and Johnson and Carter.

Republicans were once the party of Abraham Lincoln. Times change.
