Anyone paying attention to political history in the US knows it is an inherent function of the party. Liberals have always been the gatekeepers of capital, always placing a firewall between the left and structural change.

    Those weren’t passed by voting Blue no matter who, but by organizing, unionizing, striking, protesting, and threatening revolt.

    Power concedes nothing without a demand. If you don’t threaten politicians’ careers, they will ignore your pleas.

    Unless of course you have the capital to buy favor, which capitalists have and do.

    Schoolhouse Rock and The West Wing have endumbened us all.
