    Nah, this is some “both sides are bad” bullshit. One side tried to get rid of student loan debt and the other side said no. One side is fighting for equal right for all races/genders/color etc and the other side says no. It goes on and on like this. Give me a break.

      Abortion rights were repealed under Democrats, trans rights are being repealed under Democrats, police budgets have increased in response to BLM, and non-stop war is completely bipartisan.

      Both sides ARE bad, just because one of them sometimes offers tepid opposition doesn’t make them good. Democrats are not on your side either.

          Then pack the courts, codify abortion rights into federal law, do some executive order bullshit, or fuck it, abolish the supreme court entirely. There’s a lot Democrats CAN do but aren’t. If we’re being very charitable, then they value made-up rules over your human rights. That’s the party you want representing you?

    I do wonder about Democrats though. Part of me thinks the “spoilers” that we see like Lieberman, Sinema, and Manchin are there specifically so Democrats can say, “Aww shucks, we tried folks, guess we can’t get that shiny new thing we promised you. Oh well, we’ll just give up on that idea.” Meanwhile Republicans ramming through the most unpopular shit in the world every chance they can get, whereas Dems don’t seem to try hard enough on issues that seem to have plenty of popular support.

      It’s not that Dems don’t try hard enough. They’re one faction in the organising committee of the ruling class. They’re not trying to work for the working class at all.
