The purpose of the Democrats is to be a pawl. And yes I had to google that. You know how on a gear system you have this ratchet mechanism sometimes that prevents the gear from moving backwards by clamping down the notches? That’s the Dems purpose.

Republicans get more stuff going for the bourgeoisie which the Dems are a part of. Then the Dems, having nothing to offer on top of that, just prevent stuff from moving left and eroding their privilege.
