    The DNC will never change to the point of siding with the working classes, because their base is in their donors and the ones who hold the means of production, wealthy imperialists.

      Their base is whoever votes in the primaries.

      It took about 7 years for the Republican party to change from the Bush/Cheney era to full on fascism. The democratic party is not immune to a drastic change (hopefully towards the opposite end of the spectrum), but it won’t happen overnight and people that want this change must get involved. Money allows to promote an agenda, helps with organizing a campaign, but ultimately it’s the people who vote.

        The GOP moved rightward, because that’s entirely compatible with what the capitalist class is okay with and even wants at times. The DNC, on the other hand, keeps moving rightward despite their voterbase moving leftward, because their base is that very same capitalist class. That’s why politicians lie, it would be very easy to not lie if you were actually basing your support on voters.
