The Democrats will do ANYTHING to kowtow to their elite donor class and alienate the Left.
Excerpt;
"During an October 2017 rally in Alabama for Democratic Senate Candidate Doug Jones, Biden
took a shot at Bernie Sanders; “Guys, the wealthy are as patriotic as the poor. I know Bernie doesn’t like me saying that, but they are."
This rhetoric is signaling to the Democratic Party's wealthy donors that Biden will defend their authority over the party. Bernie Sanders popular criticisms toward the wealthy for subverting democracy by pouring millions of dollars into the political system and broadening income and wealth inequality through corporate monopolization and anti-labor union measures present a major problem for party elites. These insiders are desperate to find a voice to stave off Sanders' rhetoric and popularity, in favor of a Democrat who would rather partner with their power instead of challenging it on behalf of working people."
