The Democratic Party is now the preferred party if the oligarchs. Why? Because Dems get more bad s**t done than the Pubs, since they aren't under as much scrutiny from most of the media, and the left generally goes to sleep when one of their team occupies the White House.

Who is even surprised?
As much as the right tries to paint Biden as a radical slave of the socialists, he sure does keep doing the same basic centrist capitalist technocrat crap as Clinton and Obama.
Center-left tends to boil down to just being an adamant capitalist plaything of the oligarchs while paying the bare minimum of lip service to environmentalists and left social ideology. But even paying that bare minimum of lip service is enough for millions to decide you're a pawn of the commies.

^There is no shortage of people on both sides of the aisle who will either not be aware of what is going on when their team is in power, or bend over backwards to be an apologist for bad policy.
