NGL if any democrat had ever gone as hard at enacting their political program as Trump is, Trump would have never even been elected in the first place.

#BernieSanders did. His party hung him out to dry on behalf of their corporate donor base.
It hasn't actually stopped him. Check out the No Oligarchs Tour crowds.

But I hear you. It's frustrating af that when a Dem gets elected & tries to do ANYTHING for the 99%, Corporate Media pulls out all the stops to squash it. When a corporate tool gets elected to give tax breaks away, where's all the 'How U Gonna Pay 4 That' šŸ’©??

It's almost like all the media are owned by #Corporations šŸ˜’šŸ¤«

@PeachMcD Isnā€™t Sanders an Independent who merely caucuses with the Democrats?

@sidereal

That distinction is most commonly made by 'centrist' corporate Dems making excuses for their idiotic marginalization of him & his wildly popular campaign

@PeachMcD Yeah but, he is, in fact, not a Democrat. Theyā€™re highlighting it for the wrong reasons, but theyā€™re not incorrect. Sanders used to be a Dem but the party rejected himā€¦

The fact that one of the only ā€œDemocratsā€ I have good things to say about (not even uncritically, sadly) isnā€™t even really a Democrat bc so many of the other Dems donā€™t fuck with him, despite the fact that heā€™s always been more popular than most of them isā€¦ telling.
