Corporatist Dems are almost just as bad as Republicans
This is what Democratic shills like Roland Martin refuse to acknowledge
"Soon after Trump’s return to the White House in January, her administration agreed to tear up a Black Lives Matter mural that displeased Republicans. At the peak of Trump’s bromance with Elon Musk, her police department launched a hate-crime investigation over anti-Tesla graffiti. Just last month, she personally muscled through a football-stadium subsidy that was on the GOP wish list. All the while, even as Trump repeatedly enraged her constituents, she held her tongue, declining to play to the gallery in an overwhelmingly blue city."
"On the activist left, Bowser has long been caricatured as a proto-Republican, too cosy with business and too hostile to progressive causes. Even her most famous act of Trump 1.0 resistance — the Black Lives Matter mural that became a civic landmark — was derided at the time as a photogenic ploy to distract people from the mayor’s opposition to defunding police. “This is what you get for giving Trump anything,” scoffed Adam Eidinger, a longtime organizer on the left wing of city politics."
"“I have governed through many crises, and I will govern through this one,” Bowser said. “Having our chief engaged with them daily, hourly, recommending locations where additional presence is helpful, I think, is the best way at this point to try to manage that.” As if to underscore their thinking, several people in the government shared with me a warm social media postissued by Attorney General Pam Bondi following her “productive” Tuesday meeting with the mayor."
