    My inclination has always been to not call myself a Dem, avoid affiliating with the party, and geneeally shit on them. However, I’ve been thinking, we should be trying to learn how the tea party took over the Republican party and doing that. They did an absolutely remarkable job

    That said, there’s a lot of differences, they’re white in a white supremacist nation, for one

      Koch brothers did that. I dunno if they’d want to do it for the Dems.

        The Koch Brothers were also the ones paying for the Think Tanks that turned Neoliberalism into the top political ideology and ultimately made the Democrat Party too (so, not just the Republican Party) a Neoliberal Hard-Right pro-Oligarchy Party.

        In a way we could say they’ve already worked their “magic” on the Dems.
