This person actually believes that being a Democrat still means something. Such a sweet kid.

That is not a good match. I thought that a lot during the bush years. Putting someone who has a business mindset in a government role is not always a good choice. Unless, like Jimmy Carter they have actually done real work.
These types of people tend to look at the government in terms of money and not people. This attitude is rarely good for people, usually they are folks who put money before people. And look where that has gotten us.

It trickles up. We know that now.

The people who took 25 years to figure out Supply Side economics was destructive are the people who made millions advocating trickle down. Sadly few of them will admit to that venality.

A political party cannot effectively represent the interests of both workers and ownership. Somebody will get the priority and it seems to me it always plays out one way, the worker's needs are given the back burner or thrown into file 13.

Possibly some of the threats aren't even idle due to entire business models built on poverty wages and robbing productivity gains.

E.g., "This city's economy is under the thumb of a handful of monopolistic thugs who have threatened to punitively slash jobs if we raise the minimum wage this much. They wouldn't have to, of course - they're just being greedy and inhuman, and would punish you for daring to stand up for yourselves. I don't like knuckling under to hostage-takers, but it's the people of this city who would have to deal with the consequences one way or another. So I'll be thinking long and hard about this."

That at least would have the color of justification.

... can call themselves a "Democrat" while campaigning, then be just another POS Republican in reality once in office. It's called "Voting for the lessor of two evils."
