Glen Ford pointed out that if the Democrats were a real, mass based party, they would never have considered Joe Biden as their nominee because he had no support among the people that energize parties: the youth. He still lacks that support because that is what the duopoly oligarchs want, a voting base which they can ignore. "But the Democrats and the Republicans are not mass political parties. They are not run the people who vote for them. They are controlled by their corporate funders, who make sure that rich peopleâs interests are protected at every money-soaked stage of the electoral game."
