Who benefits from backroom politics?

[Marthe48]

When we think of the smoke-filled back rooms, filled with politicians and movers and shakers, how often do we think of who that gathering is trying to benefit?

These days, if there are indeed backroom political discussions, Democratic leadership are setting policy to benefit citizens and this country.

If there are r's talking policy in the backroom, it is to benefit traitor.

What is better for our country?

1. Backroom politics helps primarily those who have access to the back rooms. If a voice isn't in the

room, it's easier to ignore. That goes for any power structure and in-group.

5. I attempted to convey the stark difference

between Dems and r's. If there are behind the scenes discussions, Dems work on advancing ideas, not a single person. I think that in general, Dems are hearing what people are saying, even if not all of them are listening. The who are listening are representing the diverse voices in that back room. R's are focused on one person and what is best for that one person.
