    Affordability AND anti-corruption would be better.

    That would give them a mandate to go after regime insiders for their many openly committed financial crimes.

    But the Dems would rather let fascism win if the alternative is jailing the rich for their crimes.

      A lot of the Dems are corrupt. They have the same donors, the same insider trading, cut the same deals with corps, foreign investories, etc, and the get a cut of the pie.

      The reason they didn’t prosecute Trump etc, is because then they’d open up themsevles to prosecution for a lot of the same shit. Hence why they foot dragged and just hoped he’d go away.

      The reason to become a rep in american politics is to get rich, or richer. It’s not to serve your country or make people’s lives better. That disappeared in the 90s. Most it’s entirely pay to play.
