It goes back further, Clinton cut welfare and passed draconian, racist anti-drug laws accepting Reagan's "welfare queens" and "crack babies predisposed to crime" canard the same way Obama built the cages to punish illegal criminal migrants and made healthcare about "skin in the game", meaning poor paying for health insurance and Harris ran on the most lethal military in history and stopping the migrant invasion.
Undoubtedly; I guess I’m more pointing to the point that I think the ‘neo-liberal’ cancer metastasised within the DNC.
Carrying forward with the analogy, it will take a significant commit through radiotherapy (primary challenges to corpo-Dems), chemotherapy (promoting radical left-wing policies), and surgery (forgoing corporate funding in favour of grass-roots support) in order for the party to survive.
The DNC and state parties are filled with consultant children of millionaires who have supported Republicans and destroyed state parties to stop the left from taking over. The biggest use of the dem party at this point is like peaceful protests; radicalizing libs who think theyre effective means to achieve positive social change
