At least here in Colorado, I don’t see any difference between the old dems and the new dems the author talks about. There is only one arguably moderate dem in the entire legislature. The rest are hardcore, anti-energy, doctrinaire leftists.
And just because they are hardcore leftists doesn’t mean they can’t do old fashioned corruption. Much of the state budget here goes to support their cronies and their reelection.
Absolutely. Leftists (or communists, etc.) are perfectly capable of old fashioned corruption they just do it “for the cause” - right. The dems have no moral base or compass so they really are capable of anything.
