Why are Democrats funding the far right?

Going to watch it now but they do it all the time, especially when they have someone who supports whatever bullshyt they want to do at the time.
Obviously, I would narrow this down to DNC and not Democrats, but enough of the party structure goes along with it that it should absolutely be called out.
Notice it is mostly the richest, most plugged in doing the shyt.

No.. they are funding far-right candidates because they feel if those far-right pols win their primary then they'll be food in a general election.
That's the strategy. Not sure i'd say it's a good strategy but we'll see

For the Bolshevik leader, the ends justified his means. But if you asked any Russian in 1917, the answer was yes.

NY Times reported on this already early in the week lol. Is this a copy cat news channel?
Propping up insane candidates in the primary to win the general used to be a sound strategy. Trump showed that strategy has expired. Republicans double down on crazy

What a misleading video. They're not funding the far-right, they're running ads to play two GOP primary candidates against each other in a primary election. The aim is to elevate the perceived weaker candidate. It's risky and I don't like it, but it's not some secret ploy to protect their so-called class interests.
Not a good strategy imo. I'm not so convinced white people are ready to give up the appeal to MAGA and Trumpism yet.

To be fair most of the insane Trump candidates who won on Tuesday are likely going to lose to democrats in November. Doesn't seem like a bad strategy.
Pretty much the gist of the video. Also, anything to avoid putting too much progressive pressure on the power structure. They get to keep things mostly the same and avoid socialist or populist policies. The video doesn't tell us anything we didn't already know but it does say it well.
Bottom line: Monied Dems gotta go.
The way they used to do this was by secretly funding green candidates to steal votes from Dems or libertarian candidates to steal votes steal from Republicans.
This is the overt version.

Political strategy, not conspiracy like most people said
