Teaching a bunch of lies about American exceptionalism and how imperialism is actually good isn’t what I’d call “fact based”

That's a right thing, not a left thing.

Right like how democrats in nearly all major cities increased police funding and almost none passed any meaningful reform.

A lot of left leaning places pushed consent decrees, for example:

But don’t remotely consider universal healthcare

The list time Democrats had a filibuster-proof trifecta it was for about 2 months and they passed Obamacare. Since then Republicans have nullified about 40% of it.

Preserve the status quo which I wouldn’t call a democracy.

Except by definition it is a democracy. Like it or not, most people vote for the status quo.
