Are "corporate~democrats" actualy true democrats ?

Too vague to respond to.

Problem one: you're a Dutch person, and not an American. But its sounds like you're commenting upon American politics.

Do you mean "the Democratic Party" of the USA? Or do you mean something else by the term "democrat"?

They're Democrats, just not liberals like they claim to be.

I mean it in general.
In the picture 2 corporate-democrats, and the person on the right side is a corporate-socialist.

"Lobbyism is no democratie"

Corporate means away from the people's hand. Do not believe anything corporate, as a corporation has no body and no soul, which makes it free to do sin at will.

I think such accusations tend to come from dissatisfied leftists who know they are unhappy but aren’t able to articulate genuine grievances so just fall back on cliches. All humans do this to some extent.

The Netherlands is below the European average for restrictions around political financing and financial disclosure. That being said, in practice it has relatively small amounts of money in politics, only about €2.50 per adult. So while more transparency might be beneficial for increasing trust in politics, it seems unlikely that donors are significantly shaping Dutch politics.

Yes, that's the ideology of the Democratic Party.

Im not a registered Democrat for a reason….

DINO= Democrat in name only.

In my part of the planet are also a lot of Dino's

I don't really consider anyone to be a "True" or "False" Democrat/Republican. Those labels just refer to membership in or ideological alignment with a certain party. The parties change their ideologies over the years, and that ideology is influenced by those who are part of that party or its constituents--among other factors.

Democrats have spent the last several decades being an anti-socialist, pro-capital liberal party. It strikes me as very odd to call such a person a DINO when just 10 years ago it was *much* more frowned upon for a politician to openly identify as a socialist.

It's an insult that suggests that True Democrats exist--a label which is used by primarily leftists who act like the Democrat Party has been primarily a vehicle for socialism and progressivism which...it has not. I'm a leftist and I roll my eyes at leftists who act like the Democrat Party is deserving of respect.

What is called democracy is in general not much more than an illusion, it is also very logical that the amount of euros / dollars / rubles / pounds rules and not the number of votes of people.

The image below shows The-Deep-State in a small size.

So it was, so it is, and so it will remain in the future.

Or be one of those a**hole parents who can't afford pizza or TV for their children because they're drunk all the time and would rather waste their money on booze. And then they beat their kids for crying about it.

That pretty much sums up the majority of dictatorships in a nutshell.

I don't find that to be a very accurate rendering.

Better would be if the father bribed a few of the kids to vote the way he wanted, instead of how they originally wanted. Or talks their ears off until they are convinced his choices are the better ones.
