Republicans don't pretend to care. We know exactly what to expect from them

    Still doesn't make both parties the same. People saying they're the same are trying to convince you not to vote, which consistently benefits one party and absolutely does not move our government to the left.

    What have the Democrats done in the last 10 years to stop the GOP? Every ossue America faces comes from infettered capitalism eating away at society like a cancer, but they still egg it on. The party exists to collect corporate donations and make people feel like they can change their lives if they just vote a little harder.

    Voting for either right wing party doesn't move to the left either

    It already fucking did.

    Biden did a lot of good work. He also let Trump have this second term.

    It's like you people always forget how much the high road costs everyone.

    Great that people got some benefits... for a couple of years. Now they will suffer fascism for who knows how long.

    "You should vote blue" except Mamdani.

    Why can't you see that dems don't want the majority? They don't care about the poors? DNC has betrayed progressives at every turn, but they are the lesser evil!!1!

    Fuck no, they just make you complacent, lash out at leftists, and stop any critical observations.

    Every election they could make amazing campaigns about how awesome life could be if the country turned left. Instead they just point at GOP and scream 'they will murder transfolk and immigrants', which is true. But that is not the path to victory.

    'Dems never had all three brances of government' - then they aren't doing their jobs. Simple as that.

    Yeah, I remember Bernie very well. Specially the presidential campaign. I remember the backstabbing at every turn. It was so sad and painful to watch. Only to give Trump his first turn.

    That was exactly the DNC's doing. They do it again and again.

    the Democratic party is heterogeneous with conflicting interests

    Yes, it's almost as if it was never meant to accomplish anything. It's almost as if it was hijacked by corpo shills just waiting to stand against any real progress, while appearing helpless when it's needed.

    Fuck the DNC.

    When there are only two parties, the one to the left of the other becomes the left wing party. It's not rocket science

    On the political scale, Democrats currently sit on what was considered far right 30 years ago. They keep in lockstep with Republicans as they shift further to the right, filling the void Republicans have just left behind
