      Yes, Democrats are also obviously controlled by big money. They could even be the same big money as the Republicans, who are just using both sides to divide the working class to distract from how much they are exploiting us.

      By that logic everyone is a puppet for someone else. If you work for someone you are their puppet, either the boss or the costumer. Politicians should be the puppets of the people they represent, we know they are actually beholden to corporations more often but in theory they are always a puppet. Elon is a puppet to his investors. But comparing everything in such childish, simplified ways is lame because is shows you have a very limited understands of human beings and of how the world works and instead rely on black and white thinking like a junior high student.

        I think the term puppet is used here to highlight the very clandestine nature of who exactly is behind the puppets that make up the Democratic party, i.e. Israel and the corporations that use the military-industrial complex to keep it going

        You could look at context instead of being condescending
