when thomas frank wrote a book called "what's the matter with kansas",which was a criticism and condemnation of the republican party,and the exploitation of the christian right.the democrats and liberal rejoiced and heralded thomas frank as an exceptional writer and adored his criticism of the opposing party of the republicans.

but liberal democrats have been notorious for their thin skin,and do not take accurate criticism of THEIR party.thomas frank has recently written a book called "listen liberals" which is a criticism of democrats,and how they have slowly,since the clinton years,abandoned their core philosophy of being a party for the working people,and instead have become a republican lite party.using the very same tactics the republicans use and actively seek to suck the cock of corporations and wall street for donations,and campaign contributions.

and yet they STILL attempt to speak in the language of "feel your pain" language directed towards the working class.who have been systematically ignored and abandoned over the past few decades.

basically,the democratic party has betrayed the very people they STILL say that they support.they actively sought to destroy the "new deal" which benefitted the people who were the most vulnerable:the working class.

well,if this election cycle has taught us anything,is that those democratic voters finally understood the extent of that betrayal,and it was those democrats who helped give trump the presidency,and the democrats STILL act is if they are the party of the people,while continuing to elect as speaker nancy pelosi as speaker.the woman who,as leader,lost the presidency,congress and the senate AND 70% of state governments.

the people have figured out that the democratic party is more interested in appeasing power and money,and their political rhetoric is the lie the american people have finally understood to be just that:a lie.

from y/t:
It is a widespread belief among liberals that if only Democrats can continue to dominate national elections, if only those awful Republicans are beaten into submission, the country will be on the right course.
But this is to fundamentally misunderstand the modern Democratic Party. Drawing on years of research and first-hand reporting, Thomas Frank points out that the Democrats have done little to advance traditional liberal goals: expanding opportunity, fighting for social justice, and ensuring that workers get a fair deal. Indeed, they have scarcely dented the free-market consensus at all. This is not for lack of opportunity: Democrats have occupied the White House for sixteen of the last twenty-four years, and yet the decline of the middle class has only accelerated. Wall Street gets its bailouts, wages keep falling, and the free-trade deals keep coming.

With his trademark sardonic wit and lacerating logic, Frank lays bare the essence of the Democratic Party's philosophy and how it has changed over the years. A form of corporate and cultural elitism has largely eclipsed the party's old working-class commitment, he finds. For certain favored groups, this has meant prosperity. But for the nation as a whole, it is a one-way ticket into the abyss of inequality. In this critical election year, Frank recalls the Democrats to their historic goals-the only way to reverse the ever-deepening rift between the rich and the poor in America.
