Because they are? Let's not pretend several billionaires don't have Democrats on their payroll too. Are we just ignoring the existence of pelosi and her corporate democrat ilk to make this point? Dems and Republicans are in the pockets of corporate america and billionaires. It's not a secret that this country is a thinly veiled oligarchy

I think oligarchy is putting it extremely kindly. Can we please just acknowledge we are a naked kleptocracy now?

Propaganda.

Because 2 things can be true at the same time?
Why is this a question?

Its just each side has their own excuse of why their shit doesnt stink and what their idea of how this fake meritocracy will justify their elites.

Kamala Harris’s campaign should strike a more populist note

I agree, if we could get Kamala to agree then I'd feel a lot more confident about her beating trump.

I don't understand why people want to blame everyone except Kamala and her campaign for her campaigns failings tho.

The media is always mad at Dem voters for not being excited for Dem candidates, probably because the wealthy owners of the media are the same ones donating so the left most option isn't really all that "left".
