I'm from Korea, and we impeached our president last year, mostly because he declared martial law, but he was also a terrible president, and no one really liked him being there, even his own party.

Why can't the U.S do the same, if Donald Trump is so bad? Why are some Americans even supporting him?

The dems may not be left enough for you but they are your progressive party. Protesting against them for their position on Gaza is the biggest self-own in the history of democracy.

Sorry I'm not going to engage with this dumbassery. I'm not even American.

You guys shat your own bed and the stench is wafting around the globe.

    Your other arguments may have their own merits, but the dems are factually not part of the left. As a leftist, I don't support right wing candidates. Whether you think I should have voted for them anyway is a separate argument

    As I said I'm not engaging with this ridiculous position.

    You were captured by GOP propaganda a year ago, and still haven't managed to unravel your delusion even though they don't need you anymore.

    I have to begrudgingly admit they did a great job, developing assets like you who are still parroting their talking points a year later for free.

    You are engaging in wrecker behavior. The DNC and GOP are both right-wing parties, and you're here scolding people for refusing to fall for the same electoralist pressure valve.

    Socialist criticism of liberalist parties isn't a recent thing.

    Here's a short newspaper article by Lenin in 1913 writing about the left-wing Labour Party in Australia, a few years after it became the world's first social democratic government at a national level (well, it was socdem at the time, it's since drifted rightward): https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1913/jun/13.htm
