Dems have been, by far, the better Party since LBJ got rid of the racists. Then we found out that we're all racists, and this can't be helped, so they were even the better Party before 1968. Ideal wise, of course, so they were our only hope. I went with them and have been POTUS Joe's most vocal supporter. I love the man but voted for Bernie. I've been proven wrong and couldn't be happier. If they can't pull power out of where we are now then they were just a failed hope. It happens.

I am a proud socialist, and the professional managerial class are what socialists like me call the coordinator class, as they do the work of the 1% in managing the rabble, feeding them propaganda, shaping opinions, etc., and most importantly, distracting them and keeping them focused on issues irrelevant to the class war, like PC, culture war stuff, and identity politics, while all the while, these members of the coordinator class hide behind the political label of liberal. I know, I've seen many of them up close and personal at Unitarian churches. They talk a good game of being social justice warriors, etc, but when you scratch them deep enough, you find that they are just as materialistic, greedy, selfish, and classist as any conservative or Repub when it comes to issues of class and income inequality. They are fine with the status quo, as it serves them well, and they don't want to give an inch on their comfy spot in the top 10% class economically.
