Of course they'll make concessions, water down their demands, and break any/all of their promises to voters.

That's what they're in office to do.

The democrats don't exist to oppose republicans... they exist to perpetuate the status quo and prevent any leftist movements from gaining enough momentum to seize any actual power.

The USA functionally only has one party: the corporate party.
They wear two different color hats and use different bullshit in their campaign speeches but they both serve the same masters and routinely collaborate to ensure nothing ever fundamentally changes.

Yeah, and nothing ever will change in that regard. But Leftists totally suck, man.  Why would you want any Leftist Vermin Scum to gain any semblance of power?  They've fucked it up every single time.

Your definition of "leftist" and mine are probably very different.

Mine doesn't even include democrats at all, for a start.

Collectivist ideologies, especially those that interfere with free market capitalism, are all evil and anathema to the Liberty of the individual. 

It is free individuals willingly engaging in economic activity solely in their own self interests that has built the might edifice of "capitalism" that all Leftist ideologies want to dismantle.

I agreed with that before Trump transformed the GOP into a working class alternative to the democRATs and Bush Republicans.

I strongly disagree and decline to argue about it.
It's neither my job nor my inclination to disabuse individuals of their various delusions about capitalism, collectivism, or any other ideology. I ain't mad about it... different people have different opinions and I don't see anything fundamentally wrong with that.

He did?
Huh. Guess I missed that part.

Oh well. Congrats, I guess?
