The Democrats are not incompetent: 90% of their funding come from billionaires. The same breed that funds Republicans, with a slight different flavor on social issues. They do not want anything to do with the "radical" left of AOC, Bernie and similar

This can never be mentioned enough. Change won’t happen in the party until the members can’t be bought.

I'm well aware they're mostly neolibs, and I used to give them a pass, but these last 9 years or so have really changed my perception of them. They're feckless liars at best and controlled opposition at worst. As much as I deride the right for letting anyone with the magic R get away with practical murder, I always let the Ds slide. They're going to have to work a whole lot harder to earn my vote from now on. Words are all but meaningless.
