Of course, Democrats then were aggressively fighting for ordinary people. Pretty much the opposite of what's happening now. Two political parties and neither gives a crap about us. Seems like a big difference to me.

Haha. And hoover installed tariffs and tanked the economy. No one cares about you or me. But we all should care about their policies, changes, and integrity, as that affects us all!

Oh fucking Christ ENOUGH. Dems ARE the party building from the ground up and to pretend otherwise is some BOT BS.

Yet they won’t endorse Zohran despite how popular he is, they won’t support universal healthcare despite how popular it is, they continually throw trans people under the bus, they still won’t talk about the minimum wage, they still won’t condemn Israel despite public opinion.

Do you know who wrote the first bill for Universal healthcare? That crazy moderate Senator Michael Bennet. We have actually never had a super majority. Despite what some people seem to think there has always been a Sinema or a Manchin or a Lieberman getting in the way

He wrote a public option bill. I would absolutely vote for that, because it might lead to universal health care.

Correct. I could name 10 good things Dems did during Biden’s term (would have been more if not for manchin and sinema and SCOTUS) but not a single good thing the Rs have ever done.

Absolutely. No question about it. So why did that party gamble so cavalierly with the 2024 election, and why is it insisting that we back apartheid and genocide in Israel? To me, that's political malpractice.

Really? The same party that withdrew their endorsement of Omar Fateh because their donors would not donate to them if they didn't do so? Minnesota Democratic official Lisa Goodman admitted as such. youtu.be/07RLUCoDKqs?...

Yeah, no. The DNC is bought and paid for by billionaires and foreign entities including AIPAC. Progressives and left-leaning figureheads are being silenced by the status quo who are centrist to centrist-right on the political spectrum. Both parties suck for different reasons.

Nobody has tried in this era. I’d rather die trying than die handing my freedoms over to fascism. My ancestors survived Franco’s fascist rule AND colonization.

It’s not just you dying tho. We have democratic structures that need to be used. Politicians only get away with things we let them with. By the time a new party is up and running the world will have burned to a crisp

We don’t have an actual democratic structure. We have the illusion of a democratic structure. It’s inevitable that a violent revolution will happen in this country in order to remove the ugly roots of fascism and capitalism from politics. I’m aware of this reality. It seems majority aren’t.

If you aren’t sure about this, you aren’t actually paying attention. I have been since the beginning. This country was lost when dark money could be allowed in politics and the bolstering of the NSA post 9/11.

I am so tired of this meme. You got two choices: Trump or the Democrats. You don't like the second choice then get involved and make it different or find out you're wrong about the party. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Sitting on your ass wringing your hands brought us Trump.

I won't be voting for anyone who supports apartheid and genocide. That's just basic for Democratic voters. I am also done with voting for anyone who doesn't actively fight for universal health care. Yes, the GOP is worse, but there's nothing lesser about Democratic party policy right now.
