“...The Democrats are very responsive to their base...”
They hand out a few tidbits to freeloaders, the insane, low-info types and radicals to keep em all on the RAT plantation. The RATS take their upper orders from the Globalists. The same Globalists that give the orders to the GOP. It all equals the UniParty.
Ok maybe you are right. The difference then is the Republicans don’t ever pretend to respond to their base at all.
