The McResistance may oppose Donald Trump, but they love that big capitalist donor money.

Maxine Waters made it clear today where her loyalties lie.



"The Democratic Party is not a socialist party," California Rep. Maxine Waters said in an interview with John Harwood at CNBC's Capital Exchange event Wednesday. Asked about left-wing politicians who identify as democratic socialists, including 2016 presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Waters said: "I just don't think our party should be identified because we have a few people who seem to be to the left of the left."

Maxine Waters' problem with Trump appears to be limited to his racism.

W.E.B. DuBois, who had a few opinions about racism as well, considered racism and capitalism to have a partnership.

Another McResistance leader, Elizabeth Warren, also reassured the oligarchs this week.



I am a capitalist. Come on. I believe in markets. What I don't believe in is theft, what I don't believe in is cheating. That's where the difference is. I love what markets can do, I love what functioning economies can do. They are what make us rich, they are what create opportunity.

Yep, the liberals in the Democratic Party have no intention of changing the status quo or endangering the power of the ruling elites.

Or, as a Republican strategist put it: “The Democrats have the endless capacity to select the wrong candidate, to select the wrong message—that’s not praise of Trump, it’s just that the Democrats are horrifically terrible at politics.”

To be fair, the Democrats are handicapped in a way the Republicans aren't.

They must fight both the Republicans AND their own base, on behalf of their corporate masters.

This two front war causes the Democrats problems when it comes to creating a coherent message.



Late last week, as I walked into a hotel basement ballroom where Third Way was convening some of the country’s leading center-left officials in Columbus, Ohio, a strategist in attendance peered up from the Hilton pastries and texted me, wryly: “Welcome to the Wall St Wing of the Democratic Party.”

...

Third Way had spent the last two years conducting research and testing messages, and now — emerging from hours of strategy and policy sessions, polling-data slideshows, and Silicon Valley–style discussion about how best to influence the party’s disruptors — they were here to make clear to the insurgent progressive left that the center now intends to stand up and fight back, and that it has Sanders in its sights just as squarely as Donald Trump.

To be fair, they hate progressives just a little bit more than Trump.

The spin has already started.

For instance, the other day fivethirtyeight.com had an article titled: What The Rise Of Kamala Harris Tells Us About The Democratic Party.

Nowhere is this article by a polling group were actual polls mentioned, which would have shown that neoliberal Kamala Harris is getting just a couple percent of the vote.

That's the problem. Public opinion is not lining up with the interests of the ruling elite.

The Democrats have their work cut out.
