By that logic the scammers preying on the gullible are smarter than the people running homeless shelters and soup kitchen.

In a capitalism hellscaoe, you're not far off. However a soup kitchens purpose is to feed people. A scammers purpose is to scam.

A political partys purpose is to get their members elected and pass legislation together. An individual politician can have similar but different purposes, but the parties purpose is clear. In this case, unlike the soup kitchen, the Dems are failing in their purpose.
