There's a famous saying in the systems engineering community: POSIWID, meaning the Purpose Of a System is What It Does. Don't look at what a system says its purpose is. Look at what it actually does, and that is its purpose.

I suggest a new acronym: POPPIWID, meaning the Purpose of a Political Party is What It Does. The purpose of the Democratic Party is to arrogate political power to itself by whatever means possible, regardless of the interests of the country or its citizens. The purpose of the Republic Party is to play permanent second fiddle to the Democratic Party, Costello to the Dem's Abbot, Robin to the Dem's Batman, Tonto to the Dem's Lone Ranger, always subservient to its master, even when it pretends to rebel.

The Republican Party is no more "stupid" than Robin or Tonto. It's just playing its supporting role in the bamboozlement of the American people.

And the purpose of the Democrat party has been, since its founding two centuries ago, to use “persons of color” to convert raw materials into wealth and power for itself.

I agree. Republicans act like controlled opposition.
