That's where it becomes so toxic. It's presented by spectacle as the most accessible opposition voice. It's even given a little bit of leeway to criticise atomised elements of power. However, it's as real as the female orgasm and only serves to recuperate whatever radical energy someone has built up over the course of the day into voting for the democrat. It's a daily "I see you, I hear you, you're valid" ritual from the mouth of the beast.
