It seems that when the media reports "Democratic opinion" they don't mean D voters; they mean a minority of D politicians and a number of D "donors," i.e. rich people who try to control political discourse through their money to benefit themselves (and who will just as happily donate to Rs when that benefits them).

There is no reason for a "donor class" to even exist. It's fundamentally contrary to democracy.

How could you ever buy a home, pay off student debt, start a business, raise a family, put your kids through college, pursue your hobbies, or save for retirement if your parents - and in-laws - depended on YOU for their living expenses and medical care? That’s the “vision” the GOP has for you: a return to crushing intergenerational poverty.
