If they wanted to, they could easily expose, ridicule, and banish Republicans to minority status by simply exposing them for what they have been doing while also FIGHTING for average Americans.

They don't fight or expose the Republicans on so much because they want a lot of the same agenda to be enacted (outside social issues).

We have lost the Democratic Party to financial elites, and we have our work cut out for us to get it back to the Democratic Party of the mid 20th-century.
