Accepting either presented level of shittiness is what got us here in the first place.

Trump couldn’t have done it without Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. The House Reps would struggle more, if it wasn’t for people like Schumer. If Democrats had called out AIPAC over the past twenty years instead of drooling over the opportunity to aid and abet war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide for them, we’d never had the whole “yeah i am voting for the slow genocide” argumentation being somehow “acceptable”.

And the most important thing is that the current Democrats are not going to be a driver for positive change. They are still fighting against moderate progressives like Mamdani and pushing for neoliberal reactionaries like Newsom instead.

Maybe, but they’re not helping Republicans as much as people like you

  How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately “elevated” Donald Trump with its “pied piper” strategy

    You understand that doesn’t contradict my point in any way right?

    You don’t understand how Democratic politicians that have directly funded trump and normalized right-wing positions (immigration is a great example of such) are far more responsible for Trump winning the election than online commenters who criticize the Democratic Party due to it’s proximity to the Republican Party?
    
    Capitalists are responsible for the rise of fascism. Both parties are beholden to the interests of their capital donors, they simply play different roles to uphold that interest.
    
    Progressives who criticize the Democratic party for failing to represent their constituents, who are supposed to be working class Americans, not billionaire donors, are the ones applying pressure on the Democratic party to actually fight against fascism instead of against progressive candidates and policies. The Democratic Establishment will not change without overwhelming pressure from working class Americans

  By doing what, acknowledging that the Democratic Party isn’t your friend? Basic political awareness isn’t helping Republicans, get a grip.
