I get what you're saying, but at this point the Democrats act more like a captured party than they do an opposition.

Which means despite the few things they do that's good, they don't stop the main issue because ultimately they serve the same class.

They're not trying to stop the stabbing so to speak of the middle and lower class, and are actively participating in it.

Championing things like civil rights and green initiatives are pointless if you're also doing absolutely nothing to stop fascists who will not only abuse power to roll all that back, but also go even further back.

One step forward, Two steps back leads you to the exact same destination, just a bit slower. Slow enough to prevent uprisings and let bread and circuses do their thing. Slow enough that Luigi is the exception rather than the norm.

As for the reason the goals the left wants that never get passed? That's literally on Democrats. They actively shut that down, because the core party at the end of the day is very solidly right wing. Fight hard like Bernie? Shut out. Try to compromise like AOC? Still backstabbed as well.

That's why I moved long ago at this point. I smelled the stink of corruption long ago and saw the sinking ship had no hope. After the soft coup that was Bush Jr, that should have been most people's alarms things were really, really wrong.

I fought, but people like you are many, still thinking things can be changed within a system designed to not do what the public wants - thinking they can hear the house at the casino.

And quite frankly, it just wasn't worth throwing my life away when the majority (ESPECIALLY back then) were like you or much worse.

But good luck with your belief. It's all you got apparently since you don't even realize you've already been bleeding out for awhile.
