May I propose an alternative for our politicians? Rather that saying “you better take your medicine like a grown up and be responsible and vote for our side” try being _actually compelling_ for a change.

That’s it. Just offer the people what they want and stop catering to the ownership class.

You mean American voters have a clientele mentality.

Let me remind you any of you could run for a seat. You don't need to belong to any political party. You can even rise through the ranks inside a party. Trump is even an example of a complete outsider turning upside-down one of the two main parties!

Your complaint sounds a lot like "we tried nothing and we ran all out of ideas".

that is what i’m accusing the dems of.

just as well you can say the wealthy people our government caters to also have a clientele mentality. and they get most of what they want.

populists are running for more seats these days and they’re winning so maybe there’s hope.
