Yep

It's because the same billionaires/corporations donate to both parties.

If a moderate wins, the most they'll do is "try" they were paid too much money to actually succeed, so they do the bare minimum till people stop complaining they didn't do anything.

And the donors know that means a republican will likely win the next election, which is their preference anyways.

The moderate wing of the party only exists to make sure the wealthy never lose and we never really win.

The biggest problem is the donors can say, "what about your constitutes? Fuck um, they're not going to do shit."

Then we don't do shit.
