It's important to realize that many of these people are free masons and they vote as a block.
So when you see the retiring Democrats agreeing to fuck over the poor, and the remaining Democrats not, and wonder how it could happen, the answer is likely that the orders come from the Masonic Lodge.
If a senator ranks at a certain level, and is outranked by other Masons, and the Masons make a decision, that senator is going to do as the Masons say because their wealth, power, and position come from the Masons and the Masons keep tabs on their families, supposedly to help them out if things are needed, such as when a Mason passes.
See something in politics that makes absolutely no sense? The answer is almost always Free Masons.
The idea that politicians are completely democratically elected is questionable. I would bet Gavin Newsom is a free mason and has already essentially been selected President, unfortunately, and will be pushed on the public through a combination of campaign donations and media coverage, ensuring that other candidates who could be better are eclipsed.
The problem now is that the clear desires of regular folks who vote for either Democrats or Republicans are not aligning with what is best for Masons... which is how you get bizarre outcomes like this in which politicians make decisions that the entire country hates and you would expect the Democrats to stick it to the Republicans but instead they are just rolling over for no apparent reason.
Then again, the Masons previously gave America a choice, a black women who would be fair to the lower and middle classes, or some rich guy who would take away programs from poor white America (and everyone), and white America voted to choose racism. Perhaps we all deserve this?
This is amazing 1800's conspiracy shit here. A deep cut. I prefer to blame the Knights of Templar myself, as the foundation of the banking system is more germane to our current issues, but really it's just another aspect of the crab-bucket mentality that Capitalism instills in us all.
