Republicans never would have been able to do what they have done if Democrats didn't turn their backs on the middle class,
The damage Reagan did was with a democrat controlled congress, and likewise the republicans did a lot of damage when they ran congress,
in the end both have failed, one being the lesser of two evils is irrelevant and is used as divisive tool to keep the koolaid drinking party faithful busy pointing fingers while the ship is sinking.
Ergo my mentioning that some Dems are also complicit in what the Repub majority wants to do. I guess I didn't stress that enough in my post.
To clarify what my post was about and in response to your retort, just let me say that it's the preponderance of the Repubs in Congress that initiate and pursue their objective of siding with and working for the very wealthy, with the minority of Dems who are complicit going along for the ride.
Check the proposed legislation of each party coming out of Congress when they are in the majority for proof of what I'm opining about.
There have been numerous occasions where the Dems have had to cave to Repub demands in order to get the tiniest of concessions out of them. It's part and parcel of the set in stone trend where the Dems have always had to give a lot to get a little. It's a true and accurate indicator of how the very wealthy have so much more sway over Congress than does the middle class and the poor. It's also a perfect gauge of how utterly corrupt many of our Congress critters from both parties have become.
But let me reiterate a significant point of contention once more: It's the overwhelming majority of Repubs in Congress that are passing legislation that exclusively favor the very wealthy with a few yet significant number of Dems siding with them to get their legislation pushed through into law, with, of course, a return of the favor for those Dems to get their own pet projects pushed through.
The Dems,
for the most part, aren't introducing legislation that exclusively favor the rich, and I'd hazard to guess with high confidence that when the Dems do it, it's to get something small for the middle class and the poor in exchange for it.
edit - Let me add that there have been numerous occasions where I felt that the Dems in Congress had betrayed their constituents quite badly, and that the sacrifices they made were nowhere equal to the gains they got out of it. In comparison, it's my opinion that almost every piece of legislation the Repubs have passed has been in favor of the very wealthy at the expense of the middle class and the poor.
