...because even though they'll always give the Rs LOTS more money than they give us, they still give us lots too! So we have to make sure they still have lots to give! So forget workers' rights, a civilized safety net, protecting the environment, or opposing the illegal, imperialist, insane war(s) that are making them LOTS AND LOTS of money. As long as we get some of it, who cares how many children they blow to bits? Not us."
