It's because the rich have essentially captured both parties. There are a HANDFUL of candidates in the democratic party and among independents who have not been basically bought and paid for, and still more out there who pretend to be to the left .

The democratic party's only hope is REAL left-wing massive policy passage - the kind that cannot be ignored, that ignites a depressed, cynical voting base.

Instead, they constantly try to find some shitty halfway point between pissing off incredibly rich donors, and making the working class not want to burn everything down. What that effectively means policy-wise is - is instead of things like "universal free healthcare" we get a clone of Romneycare... with the public option stripped from it by another bullshit Republicrat / "bLuE-dOg" democrat... where insurance companies get paid no matter what... but you still can't afford insulin.

All that then does is make people not show up for them - thinking the Democratic party - the only party NOT advocating for outright fascism - isn't going to fight for their voting bases real tangible needs.

Unless, of course, it's a very specific physical platform that looks like this.

...Or just raise prices because they want to increase margins and lie and say its because a massive increase in theft or inflation or whatever they want to say and then laugh about it on a public earnings call that you can raise prices however you want because consumers still have to buy certain goods no matter what.

Same. Love this guy. His video about how those roll-around "portable" HVAC units being hot garbage made me both upset I had ever used one, and also excited about the future of heat pumps... then he started doing more videos on heat pumps!
