IOW, Democrats get their power from misery. The more misery, the more power they have.

A wise man once said something along the lines* of "Beware of a Politician who is for the "Little Guy" because he will make sure there's a lot of "Little Guys" around to vote for him".

That's the Democrats for sure

* - I can't seem to find the exact quote online for some reason

There is some truth to that. Poor people vote Democrat. Rich people do too but in much lower percentages. So the Dems need lots of poor people. And they get their power in the voting booth. How they get those votes is really not material. They do what they have to do. Whatever it takes. But lots of poor dependent people is a must.

The bottom line for Democrats is stated quite clearly in the article:

"Most people on ‘the political left,’ could care less about refugees, immigrants or free health care. Their main concern is power and money. And, their window of opportunity to stop the most devastating political event of Democrat political history is closing."

The quote refers to the risk to the Dems that there will be fewer poor people going forward. Less misery. Fewer Dem votes. Fewer illegal votes. Fewer fresh new Dem voters being imported into the country and particularly the battleground states. All of that is bad news if you are Dem. Trump is bad news if you are a Dem.
