    But don't you worry, Democrats have learned so much from their failures of the last ten years. Future speakers include big hospital and pharma lobbyist Ezekiel Emanuel and of course New York Times columnist David Brooks. pic.twitter.com/qNlkMf86GH

        The economy two-step. Democrats get in when people are sick of GOP bigotry and economic exploitation. They drop only the bigotry (somewhat), and people throw their hands up and stay home. Then the GOP gets in again. Rinse and repeat, we've done the controlled opposition tango.

        Zeke is one of about 4 people who *really* know where the bodies are buried in there, and understands how Seema has f-ed it up, and what to do about that.

        Because they are the same people. Because the leader has a 9 figure net worth she doubled cleaning up in the housing crisis, millions in FB stock a priority of Pay Go and does not give a shit if we win as long as the right consultants get paid

        Exactly. You captured the essence of the problem. Dem elites are part of the same oligarchy. They will throw occasional bones at the public, like job retraining and such, but the superstructure of neoliberalism remains.

        Isn't that kind of a weird way to characterize Zeke Emanuel though? All I know about him is what I recall reading circa ten years ago, but I thought he was supposed to have had a huge advisory/theory role in the creation of the ACA?

        He wants to die at 75. In his case, it might not be such a loss.

        Corporate capture of the Democratic party, since the mid-1970s.

        And the only way the situation can be fixed is a widespread left-wing Democratic insurgency through... primary challenges.
