Poli-Tea details how some liberals and progressives in the Democratic Party continually go back for more abuse. This is mainly because they are unable to envision alternatives, so they resolutely fight for change within a party that systematically kicks reformists in the teeth every chance it gets.

This just happened to the Tea Party too. Most of the legislators they helped to elect are now ignoring them and the budget that just passed was no actual reduction in spending at all.

Our two party duopoly doesn’t want change.
