    Or, you know, be the party that at least promises popular things, instead of the party that just exists in idle opposition.

    At least we’ll never have to worry about Dems after 2026. Maybe some better parties can take hold

      Right? All they had to do was promise to Legalize weed, increase the minimum wage, put caps on rent increases, go after shrinkflation, make it easier to vote, say that healthcare is a human right, fight for unions, promise to help support people who currently can’t afford to buy homes to be able to buy homes, and tax the rich and corporations more.

      Oh wait, Harris did all of those things. Democrats have had progressive policy, but voters keep voting against it. Because Democrats have to be perfect and cant also happen to have a couple shit policies. The moment they have a couple shitty policies, or don’t have all the progressive policies people want. those are all that matter and that means Democrats are just the same as Republicans.

        The problem is they’ve been promising that for two decades.

        They’re great at saying things, sometimes, to specific outlet while saying the opposite to their donors and other outlets. But they’re terrible at doing anything. At all. After decades of lies, after decades of trying to push them left… The Harris campaign paid partial lip service and promised what Obama did in 2008.

        Also no, Dems are the same as Republicans because their goals, based on their actions and voting records, are exactly the same. Make rich people more rich, bust unions, keep the poor poor.

          I was with you until you went all “both sides”. Dems fucking suck, they’re inauthentic, corrupt leaches, but the last 6 weeks alone ought to be plenty enough to prove that the repubs are whole other animal. These are officially Nazi’s we’re dealing with.

            And the Dems hold up tiny signs in protest rather than actually do anything

            The Dems don’t care and won’t fight so they’re functionally the same
