    I’ll be the first one to say that the current Democratic party needs replacing, but they’re not wrong.

    Or did everyone forget that you need a supermajority in the Senate to get past the Presidential veto?

    Is anyone truly naive enough to think that Donald Trump would sign anything the Democrats put forward? The man who told Republicans to tank legislation with things they wanted in it to avoid giving Democrats a win?

    Unless you’re advocating for a revolution, you have to work within the system. And it’s not the Democrats fault that is easier to break a thing than to fix it.

    It’s always easy to point out a problem. Solutions are what we need, and all this kind of post does is discourage left-leaning people from voting, which is what the Republicans want.

    So unless you have something resembling an actual solution, this just seems like virtue signaling to me.

      they’re not wrong.

      Why can Republicans govern with a slim majority while Democrats consistently need a supermajority?

        The democratic party accomplished all of its goals during the biden administration: they sold weapons for genocide.

          I like it when people focus on one thing and ignore all the actual accomplishments. Or maybe you aren’t ignoring them. Maybe you’re entirely ignorant of them.

            Petty concessions do not obscure the overt imperialist oppression.

            “I don’t care about the fact we support genocide so long as I get better quality of life.”

            What a fucked mentality. Go find your solidarity with the oppressed.
