They don't care if they protect their party or the people they represent. They care about getting as much personal wealth as possible for themselves. Exactly the same as Republicans but they at least represent a portion of their voters by passing crazy laws for them.
I can’t stand republicans but I respect them for this. They constantly throw red meat to their base while still upholding their power structure of their donors. The democrats don’t even bother with the red meat.
They toss red meat constantly, knowing it will be intercepted mid-flight by the much better-fed animals. The keepers have no incentive to save the starved animals. The starved animals have only each other and their hunger. What will the starved animals do?
