    The top priority of both parties is still revenue growth for the s&p500 and sending tons of money to Israel. I don’t think the powerful people are too worried.

      Even that’s awfully charitable. The S&P 500 going up would be visible and accessible to nearly everyone. Instead they insider trade and make money from swings in both directions, on individual stocks. Nancy Pelosi is a good example.

      No, not “both parties”.

      Just 99% of Republicans and half of the Dems. Most of the newly elected Dems are from the DSA, who don’t owe their win to AIPAC or the oligarchs. And there were some in office, even before this election (e.g. AOC, Buttigieg, Van Hollen etc.). If they can gain control over the Dem leadership ( oust Schumer and Jeffries) than you have a good chance for the rule of law and governing “for the people” to return.
