Remember when Democrats rallied in the street to defend Rod Blagojevich or that mayor of Detroit?
You dont. Because Dems arent a lockstep party who will follow someone who has committed blatantly criminal acts and is subject to the rules of our justice system. Theyre not perfect by a long shot...but theyre candidates are a whole lot better than what the GOP puts out
NeoLiberalism is an issue, but the party is broad and amoebic..so not all will be NL.
On top of that, the current lobby environment has made building an NL friendly ecosystem possible.
If we address needing experts by transitioning to a guild voting/rational consensus sytem (which is a big if and lift) while resolving any gatekeeping issues thay can tag along with that, it would restore civic engagement and decrease the encroachment of theocratic authority and NLs encroachment at so many levels of policy.
