Please don’t cherry pick a tiny statement in an entire explanation of thinking and present it as a “gotcha”.
Look, I voted democrat, but anyone arguing that they are also not corrupt is a moron. They are waaaaaay LESS corrupt, but they’re still corrupt and they haven’t made big moves that they could when they have had the power.
To be fair, they haven’t really had much actual power recently, we never really have enough dems in the house and senate to actually get things pushed through without bipartisan support which know won’t come for anything that benefits the people. While there are definitely corrupt people in the democrats, as a whole their inaction ties more to stalled efforts which needed bipartisan support vs. not trying to push for changes. When you know you won’t get enough traction to get something done do you waste resources there or try and find something that’s workable.

And yet they still manage to force their shit through
This is literally the point of a representative democracy.

What the fuck are you talking about?
Exactly, they’re the party of “we keep corporate donors’ profits flowing by doing nothing helpful to people”
