“For liberals like Cohn the outcome of Clinton’s 2016 defeat at the hands of ‘uneducated’ workers was a disaster they can’t accept. The Bernie Sanders wing of the splintered Democrats has used the primary win by Democratic Socialists of America member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York’s 14th Congressional District to advance their reform program and seek to take over the party. Of course, she didn’t actually win by turning out the masses. Over 80 percent of eligible voters stayed home.
Ocasio-Cortez — like Sanders, whom she used to work for — focuses on attempts to make capitalism “nicer” and “fairer,” obscuring the reality that what workers face is the product of the irreconcilable interests of the class that holds power — the propertied owners. More than anything else, her aim is to staunch the desertion of workers increasingly disillusioned with the capitalist parties and get them back into the Democratic Party.

Lee, please stop referring to the money extorted from Citizens as taxpayers money. It is money from CITIZENS who are taxed. Calling people taxpayers legitimizes it.
Thanks
Congrats on the great setup!
thanks Lee for brining up the truth!
