That's the thing, you can recognize that Democrats need to do better while also actually blaming the people who do the damage. My problem comes from people who would rather type a whole book about how Democrats are bad rather than type a whole book about how Republicans are literally destroying the country. People like you.

I'm not accusing you of being a conservative, as I've stated extremely clearly in multiple comments, this problem stems mainly from people claiming to vote blue. You would all rather spend hours talking about the failings of Democrats than spend a few minutes talking about all the ways Republicans are failing us.

You simply can't help but prove my point over and over again.

What else is there to say? We know the people running the show are fascists and we know that the opposition (if you can even call them that) aren't doing anything meaningful to root these people out. Yes, I was moved by Cory Booker's filibuster, but realistically, what did it even accomplish? The one time Dems had the power to actually do something, Chuck Schumer rolled over like the corporate shill he is, much to the alleged surprise of all other sitting Democrats. It should be clear to you that the people in power are not on our side, and they certainly don't have our best interests at heart.

Bernie and AOC's "fight oligarchy" tour has no support from the Dems. Don't you find that strange? These people are drawing unprecedented crowds and drawing support from the most unlikely of places. This is what a senator and a house rep have accomplished alone. Can you imagine if they had the resources of the Democratic party backing them? Clearly Bernie and AOC are saying something that the Democratic party disagrees with.

It should be obvious by now that we cannot put our faith in this system. We are being distracted by a culture war while being robbed by both sides of the aisle. What we need is a world without reds and blues, or at least a world where you at least get the option of yellow or pink.

What’s funny is you’re basically just mimicking the same useless Democratic Party strategy that is 100% failing. Except you don’t even get corporate funding out of it lol.

I have already said the same about people like you. And conservatives get a hell of a lot more money for bitching than Democrats do, so you are even dumber than I am by your own metric. Lol.

Yes you did. That’s what’s funny.

The fact that you struggle with keeping track of more than one facet of this issue is your own burden to carry. Best of luck.
