Democrats Now the Party of Plutocracy
17th June 2015
And, really, have been for some time. It’s just now becoming too obvious to fake.
There’s more than a bit of cognitive dissonance in the merger of Democrats with plutocracy – rule by the wealthy. After all, the party’s brand is supposed to be “party of the people.” For Democrats, the allure of corporate cash – in campaign contributions and, later on, in of corporate patronage – may be overwhelming, but it does pose a threat to the party’s positioning.
Oh, I don’t know — Democrites have never had a problem saying on thing and being another.
