Democrats aren't a unified political party the way Republicans are, especially on issues like regulation of business. Some Dems are corporate-friendly and want contributions from lobbyists; others are social democrats who are distressed about corporate dominance. So it depends on who you're talking about: AOC and Joe Manchin aren't going to have the same perspective.
- LegitShady 6y ago>Democrats aren't a unified political party the way Republicans are, This is unnecessary and also incorrect comparison >Some Dems are corporate-friendly and want contributions from lobbyists; others are social democrats who are distressed about corporate dominance. True, but not relevant. There's a reason Warren stayed in the primaries long enough to make sure Bernie couldn't proceed - and Kamala Harris who didn't go anywhere is now Vice President. There are functional powerblocks that are making decisions, whether the party is unified or not. >So it depends on who you're talking about: AOC and Joe Manchin aren't going to have the same perspective. That has nothing to do with what the effective leadership and powerblocks are doing, and both can be used to push a position that does what the powerblock wants by propandazing it in their perspective. Tech regulation is good! AOC can push it because it will protect against misinformation, protect minorities against hate, and guard against russian intrusion in elections similar to what allowed Trump to be elected. See how easy it is? It's just spin. spin is not what the actual politics going on are.
