    Political parties aren’t about being transparent or representing the people who actually vote for you.

    They’re about managing public relations to keep getting people to vote for the financiers of the party.

    Didn’t we learn this after what they did to Bernie in 2016?

    The reason why they lost is because the biggest money sided with policies and candidates that voters don’t want. If they tried going with a true leftist populist they would have financial support dropped and the candidate would be at odds with almost all the other elected representatives.

    There are countless policies that should be changed that everyone wants changed but will never change because it will outrage the money and keeping the people in power still in power. None of this system is about putting what the people really want in place, it’s about managing the narrative so they can push those horrible policies and stick to the oligarch lobbyist dynamic.

    Even if they are forced to release a report, it will not be the real one. They can never release the honest truth, because it would be used against them.

          He isn’t a centrist. Jesus Christ, are you allergic to accurate political analysis? Bernie is a Socialist Democrat, aka a liberal. He once was a leftist, he is no longer.
