The financing of the Democratic Party by the money powers is a blight on Democratic voters themselves.

Summary
The financing of the Democratic Party by the financial powers is forcing it to adopt a progressive approach on the cheap, consigning to oblivion any progressive measures that do not serve the interests of the oligarchs, and the Democratic electorate is the first to suffer.
Quotes
« Indeed, big business finances the election campaigns of both Republicans and Democrats. Proposals that are too far to the left are immediately sanctioned by Wall Street or by the political establishment itself. For example, a motion tabled by 30 progressive MPs in favor of a more peaceful approach to the war in Ukraine was withdrawn within 24 hours under pressure from the military establishment. In this context, progressive policies in the interests of the working class, the environment and peace obviously don't stand a chance. »
