Spot on man. I used to call myself a democrat and now i hate (yes actually hate) the party with more fiery passion than the Republicans.
it could be the part they play in this farce, the browbeating to vote for them as if it’s my duty to vote for them as a citizen to fight the Rs regardless of the Ds platform. Then they do fuck all and tell me its not that they don’t want to, i just don’t understand politics to know that they cant.
I prefer the naked hated of the R party. L, frankly. Its frightening, but less paternal, insulting, and demeaning.
I hear you, but I think there is still value in voting D, if only to make the Overton window shift slower.
If the election is close or contested, Dems can pretend their hands are tied and let Rs enact their facist bs. If Dems own the house, they’ll need to do something or come up with some other bullshit excuse not to enact more left leaning policies. In an ideal world there’d be real consequences to them if they meandered like they usually do.
It’s not great though, happy to hear your perspective.
