didnt say he was. point is he's completely shattering the illusion that the democrats couldn't have done anything each time they've had the presidency and that they choose to shit on the working class.

trump won because he is doing what his base wants (deporting people and being an asshole) and democrats lose because they are not doing what their base wants and just give excuses each time.

they should still have to adhere to the rules of common sense.

how precisely are you going to make them? do you see the issue here? and this is exactly why trump won. because democrats wouldn't do a damn thing for working class americans no matter how many we elect if the corporate owners didnt want them too.

trump on the other hand is more than happy to do whatever he wants and you're all suddenly seeing how effective it is when you dgaf.

pretty standard of them.

if you dont want the vote to be split tell your candidate to adopt their platform. its pretty simple.

what a completely useless statement. the problem is democrats have been abandoned by the population at large because of their lack of doing things that have a positive and material impact on the american middle class and if they dont fix this in the next few months they'll likely never get a chance to and we're all worse off for it.

biden barely started to do it and then lost all the political capital he potentially had because he decided breaking a strike and supporting a genocide was more important than winning. and harris followed him off the cliff.

YDI: you sound like a whiny little pain in the ass who adds little value to any conversation they're a part of. this post is emblematic of this fact.

no we shit on them for actively lying about and preventing QOL improvements like healthcare, fixes to the power imbalance between labor and corps, etc. this is about 3 decades later than it should have been. and we've been talking about universal healthcare ~ a century at this point.

at some point you need to accept they suck and are not doing what they should be and its literally killing people. you dont get a pat on the back just because some one else is killing people faster than you.

you have democratic candidates running around blaming trans people for their loss last year, you have them actively supporting trump initiatives this year. while simultaneous spewing bullshit about how people are going to vote for them in the midterms because trump. Quick question: what if we dont? because they still suck, and are not offering us any reason to vote for them?

lets perform a little critical thinking shall we?

go find documented evidence of the majority of democratic candidates having policy positions in support for single payer and ran on them. or have any coherent policy changes at the party level that would actually fix the issues with health care / the destruction of the middle class due to corporate power imbalances.

until you can answer those two questions you're going to continue to see democrats lose ground to fascists.

Tl;dr; apparently I wasnt the one living in a fantasy realm after all.

You're more than welcome to continue voting for democrats. But you're not going to convince people they're worth voting for if all you can come up with are programs that shouldnt even need to exist if democrats actually put forth policies that resolved the issues facing the middle class economically.

Programs for new mothers? Fucking please, enact fucking paternity leave and expand both to a year of paid leave usable for the first 7 years of a child at parents conviencce.

Chips? Are you fucking kidding me? Stop allowing ceos and investors to suck up all the cash our economy generates, prevent the ability to become billionaires while your workers require socialized programs and these programs are not even necessary.

As for harris campaign site, im very well familiar with what was on it. It was a bunch of useless policy positions that did nothing. Her healthcare policies were essentially insulin caps. Which sorry but thats not what the fucking problem is. Her economic policies were essentially 'you get to continue to being fucked over by corporate greed.'

Right now you're in an abusive relationship with the Democrats that you feel you need to stay in, and the fact is you dont, its really not that hard to walk away.

This toxic relationship is why Democrats funded the trump crazies thinking itd ensure your vote come election time. And for you it did. For those of us unwilling to put up with toxic manipulative shit stains who like to add in a side of genocide as dessert we've moved on.

Happy to come back if the democrats reform themselves (maybe you should ask yourself why only AOC and bernie are running around trying to build the base up) but until then they can: fuck. right. off.

Its like night and day

Its really fucking not. As we're seeing democrats are happy to go along with fascism and are completely ineffectual at combatting it.

Maybe the trillion dollar companies should be funding this.

Okay show me biden and harris campaign promises for single payer/public option. Or that the majority of Democrats for congressional office run on it as their platform. Documented evidence. Not your feel good assumptions.

And no harris' primary run where she put it on her platform for all of 2 seconds doesnt count.

Then explain why the democratic stronghold states dont have it with their super majority of Democratic representatives.

Then explain why Massachusetts had to have a grass roots ballot initiative to pass a 1% tax increase on those making over million / year.

Im not the one delusional about reality here. But go on im waiting, happy to be proven wrong.

Lol presidential office is inly one the bet is about.

Thats kind of the problem with top down hierarchical structures

Sure 10$..good luck. No ine is going to want to vote for the candidate who lost to fucking trump 😂

Id totally give them a shot if they have hosted email etc. but a marketing ploy is a marketing ploy. :)

😂 the fact you think thats them after biden, harris, and the majority of congressional members ran on exactly not doing those things is hilarious.

those are a bunch of rationalizations. working americans have been pissed for decades and things have not improved. its why everything is going to go tits up for the rest of the decade.

they dont care about trump. they're pissed no one represents them anymore and life keeps getting harder. there is a reason cars are starting to be lit of fire.

maybe you should consider why. its not because people miss cheney or care about the border. but running candidates like 'nothing will change' and 'I cant think of anything different i'd do' might not be a good strategy.

you should spend you efforts telling the dnc to adopt working class policies or fuck off. it'll be a better use of your time. many of us are done wasting our time screaming into a void. and are happy letting the nation get what it so rightly deserves.

No the problem exists because the dnc abandons their base as much as they can.

Its not that their messaging sucks its that their policy sucks and it shows and the left wing doesn't put up with it.

Its why the Democrats can never maintain a majority because they like to fuck over the people who vote for them on a regular basis.

Yes due to harris and the Democrats abandoning their base to cater to trumps.
