The Democratic Party is indentured to monied interests and is incapable of taking responsibility for its losses and mistakes. Democratic operatives resist organized grassroots pressure and the party excludes/punishes any dissent inside its ranks. The shrinking trade unions that have historically pushed the Democratic Party are increasingly content with crumbs for workers and afraid of union members who have swallowed the Trump lies.
The two-party duopoly and an electoral system that obstructs challengers from smaller parties lets the Democratic Party stagnate.
Nader closes his article by suggesting readers call or email Tom Perez, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Hakeem Jeffries.
I envision my email as follows:
Dear Ms. Pelosi:
With your 2018 personal worth estimated at $114 Million I see you as emblematic of a Democratic Party indentured to monied interests. Shame!
Respectfully,
Michael Wehle
