      The career path for a Democrat is

      1. Get into national politics
      2. Don’t offend the corpos so you can build connections with them for Step 4
      3. Don’t rock the boat so you keep your political connections for Step 4
      4. When its time to retire, join a lobbying firm and use your political and corporate connections for a nice cushy paycheck.

      Which is why they hate any democrat that rocks the boat: they’re endangering their retirement.

        That’s exactly right. Except you left out all the lucrative insider trading they enjoy during 1-3. And just in case anyone tries to pull the wrong idea from any of this, the Republicans are even worse than that.
