One can do so in many aspects of politics, Neven. But there are topics where even the most conservative corporate democrat is better than the most liberal republican.
Look, they are both serving concentrated wealth. Words like 'conservative' and 'liberal' don't mean anything in this context. Those are just masks to conceal what is being done.
I agree with the quoted sentence when it comes to economics. But when it comes to social security, for example, the Dems are remarkably better for decades now. Which, of course, means not that it's good politics but still quite distinguishable from the Reps.
Let's assume that what you say, is true (sidd just showed you it isn't, but nevermind).
What is more important, social security or economics?
Let me rephrase that: What is social security without economics?
Let's say you're voted in on a promise of 'hope' and 'yes, we can', but you fill your cabinet with Goldman Sachs managers who make sure the banks get bailed out, nobody goes to prison, and while bonuses are re-instated at the speed of light, millions of homeowners get evicted.
How do you make up for that through social security measures?
You don't, and you don't care. Because you serve concentrated wealth, not the American people.
And as for 'Dems are remarkably better for decades now', are Dems now remarkably better than Dems decades ago, let's say, during the FDR era? No, they aren't. They have effectively become Republican-lite, like Obama has bragged. So, if Corporate Democrats are effectively Republican-lite, what do Republicans have to do to differentiate themselves? Why, go further right, of course.
It's all a scam, and the only way to break through the downward spiral, is to first sideline Corporate Democrats, get them out of positions of power, and shift back that Overton Window. There's only one person who can do that, and has in fact been doing that, and that's Bernie Sanders. None of the others can do it, and so any Blue will and must not do!
If people don't see this, they are on the wrong forum.
