Campaign consultants prosper by convincing politicians that the path to victory is to raise a boatload of money and spend it on ... campaign consultants (and expensive TV ads from which the consultants get a big cut).
And raising megabucks means kowtowing to moneyed interests.

The real danger that insurgents pose to the Democratic establishment is not their embrace of progressive policies. It's that they're able to win with grassroots organizing, rather than depending on massively expensive ad campaigns. The establishment *wants* money to matter more than people.

Democratic moderates are constantly deluding themselves that you can cross a chasm in incremental small steps and then finding themselves smashed on the rocks below. And then doing the same thing over and over again.

Trump is turning DC into a toxic waste dump. The movie Idiocracy is a how-to guide for this administration, not a cautionary tale.
"The Park Service, in a separate document, similarly said that people should ‘wear an n95 mask when outdoors’ and ‘remain indoors as much as possible during and after the show.’”
The guidance is to remain indoors ... during the fireworks. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
