WTF Dems...?
Stop enabling a tyrant. This is gonna bite you in the ass quicker than you thing.
I mean what the fuck are they even doing?
When the Republicans were out in 2020, they pushed back on everything and everyone, fuck the consequences, which there never are any, and let their base know they had their backs regardless, and even if they voted they damn well made it known they did so reluctantly.
Here you've got Democrats who aren't even putting things up for a fight and then they have members going on air touring how great these guys are, fucking Fetterman.
There's no spine in any of these Democrat assholes so why the hell would I vote for any of them at this point if your going to make it easy for fascists? There is no lesser of two evils now, just sickening enablers.
They're doing what they always did: uphold the status quo.
The veil is pulled back, neither party (save for a few progressive senators) actually gave a shit about anyone but themselves. The DNC was just better at pretending, using rainbow capitalism to hide it.
They still govern by 'gentleman rules' but the GOP and Trump aint fucking gentlemen. They're fucking Nazis using the system against them...
Then they'd piss off their own donors too...
You know when the last big cut to the federal workforce was?
The 90s when Clinton was in office.
You know what trump was doing in the 90s? Donating so much to the DNC that the Clinton's came to one of his sham weddings.
If you want to know why neoliberals aren't opposing Donald Trump, it's because they've literally been working together to destroy the federal government and replace it with oligarchs for the last 30 years.
So stop acting surprised already, and start opposing them.
If there’s one thing corporate dems hate more than the Republicans, it’s AOC and her squad.
Most of the long timers are rich white people in safe seats, so Republicans are no threat to their personal interests but a challenge from the left is.
Both parties need to split up into new parties. However, the money flowing is incentive to prevent them from doing that. Party splits have happened before several times in US history. This time the billionaires are funding all of this chaos thanks to legislation they started passing since post Watergate. How do we get them to split? Take the money out or give them more money than the billionaires can. Both resolutions that should not require drawing blood. How do we do that? I have no idea how to fund more money than billionaires, but being somewhat of an optimist, 99% of the population can probably figure out a way once they stop this tribal mentality of red vs blue.
Once Conservatives and “centrists” stop handing power to the worst people we could probably just start reversing this global shift to the right even just with that. Progressive candidates are all over, we’re just too collectively stupid to vote for them.

which is never going to happen. one side has to lose. buy guns.

Democrats would rather be fascists than fight fascists.
But when you try and run a campaign as off-brand, Mr Pibb, diet-fascists..
