quote [ Many Americans can’t remember anything other than an economy with skyrocketing inequality, in which living standards for most Americans are stagnating and the rich are pulling away. It feels inevitable.

I would agree with your there; about local politics being a lot more influenced by money...
Except for what I had to live through recently where nationally funded Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff ran a record shattering funded campaign only to lose.
I'm pretty clearly one on side of the aisle politically... but from my vantage I see it as completely objective to point out that there is one party that is the greatest offender of "money in politics" at this very moment.
