Comment on American workers are tired of waiting.

  If you bring up Democrats, naturally Republicans are going to be talked about.

  Mainly by people who don’t want democrats to change.

    No? Because we’re talking about our current political climate?

    Trust me if I had a magic wand or a point of view cannon I’d change the democratic party in an instant. Hell everyone, make a global communist utopia.

      I think we’re talking across each other.

      Republicans are worse and I’ll never deny that. That doesn’t give democrats license to be as evil as they want to be as long as they’re the lesser evil. And to a lot of Americans, myself included, it looks like democrats are doing just that.

      The last election demonstrated that they cannot get away with that behavior. That isn’t me purity testing. That’s me observing what happened. And I think that if the democrats keep acting like Lucy with the football, they’ll get the same results.

      Democrats have not only lost the trust of their voters, they have earned their active distrust.

      And their current actions aren’t exactly helping to repair trust. Ousting David Hogg, refusing to release the 2024 autopsy, interfering with the primary for Maine’s 2nd district. All of these point to a party that cannot be trusted.

      I don’t ever hear anything about what democrats need to do in order to repair that trust and get back the disaffected voters they’ve lost. Just screaming at people with any criticism, regardless of how they voted.

        I get that. I really do. I’d love it if they were better. But I’ll ask what I asked elsewhere: So what’s your solution with the situation we have right now, in regards to voting?

        1- vote Republican, the overt fascist, white nationalists take over.

        2- vote third party, they lose, either Republicans win or a Democrat might win, though doing that might help Republicans win.

        3- don’t vote, and who knows who wins, though not voting trends to help Republicans.

        4- vote Democrat, even though they suck, so that Republicans don’t win. The capitalist, not white nationalists win.
