It's really very simple:

On one side, there's integrity and convictions and serving the interests of the American people.

And on the other side, there's a handful of corporations and wealthy individuals who will give them money in exchange for protecting their privilege.

And the Democrats have chosen the money

As have the republicans. So now there are no political options for addressing the material concerns of the working class.

Oh there are options. We just have to add a little checkbox beneath A or B ourselves. After all, revisions exist for a reason.

I'm sure that's part of it, but I also think there's a fair bit of rolling over to protect whatever power they get left with.

I'm sure we'll see lots of press releases expressing deep concern again.
