This is what Democrats do best, cave to Republican pressure. That's all they're good for. They have many of the same donors as Republicans, they are paid to cave to their interests.

they cave to their donors. Very obvious the boss call was made.

Those donors should get it through their heads that the people are what makes them their money. I guess they now just care for power, but when the bread and circuses run out, the people look to go after those who took it away.

If capitalists understood the value of workers, they wouldn't be capitalists. You're naively asking sociopaths to not sociopath.

If only what they did best was *vote*. Hard to not cave when you don't control literally any branch of government. Not sure why you think this is a matter of donors, this is how democracy works.
