No, that is not the fundamental divide of the Dem Party.
The fundamental divide is between 1) those still pretending Trump is the anomalous cause of the democracy/oligarchy crisis and 2) those who know Trump is the culmination/symptom of both parties’ leaders colluding to create that crisis.

Never, ever forget that they slashed billionaire taxes down to practically nothing and then let them make all their money in completely tax-free ways.
And then they told you it would be "unfair" to raise taxes on the rich so we can pay for things like healthcare.
Insane.

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.
In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.
And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich.
It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense — yet that's what this GOP budget is all about.
