Sadly, from what I can tell, the "rally blitz" is one that in part promotes the false narrative that Democrats are just as "corrupt" as Republicans. That doesn't help.

And the Both Sides insinuation they haven't been pushing for campaign finance reform since Citizens United.
I listened to Sanders' Omaha speech: "Oligarchy is about political power. ... But it's not just Republicans. Billionaires contribute to the Democratic Party as well" (audience boos at the Democratic Party).
How is the Democratic Party beholden to billionaires and oligarchs? What policies have changed to be like Republicans'? There must be many many examples of Democrats voting to repeal the ACA, lower taxes for corporations and the wealthy, raise Pharma prices, privatize everything, prevent anything being done about climate change, weaken unions and keep wages low, not relieve student debt, etc., to say the whole party is the same as the other. But there aren't.
How is saying the Democratic Party is corrupted by oligarchs and billionaires helpful? Can someone explain please?
The DUer whose post I've quoted above asks excellent questions! They make some important distinctions and obvious observations. But the questions you pose will never be answered directly... the standard MO is to just make negative insinuations about Democrats. The false narrative that "both parties are the same" is what suppresses voter turnout for Democrats. It's a dangerous lie and it leads to people voting third-party, or voting for "Uncommitted" or not bothering to vote at all. This, of course, always benefits the Republicans (as we've seen multiple times now.) It's a great fundraising gimmick though. I just wish those dollars were flowing toward Democrats.
