Democrats don't have to be perfect to win, no candidate does. What they need to do is swear to protect elites in order to get that sweet campaign donation money.
No $ = no advertising = no chance of office.
Republicans are just more likely to push candidates who will promise this openly.
Everything else (read: "do you rape little girls?") comes second. It's partly why it feels like the rich keep winning without a hitch dispite and apparently gridlocked Congress.
Yes, but that doesn't change that in the United States a Democrat could literally be perfect and still lose, while clearly, a Republican can be an actual felon, rapist, pedophile and still win.
Whether money is in the equation or not, this is still a true statement and a damning condemnation of our sick society.
