This is the problem with the Democratic Party.

its not a Party. Its 37 parties in a trenchcoat, and there is no unifying idealism, goal, or outlook that binds them to singular purpose outside of the 2 party system crushing all the non-extrem-right-wing people together into the not-extreme-right-wing party (that is slowly becoming more and more right wing because of all the right wing people being forced into it due to the 2 party system)

You have some people, that genuinely care about the people and think its governments job to serve them, like Mamdani, and AOC, and Bernie Sanders (Who is technically Independent, but is basically a Democrat in everything but affiliation label, since he's always worked so close with them)

Then you have some people that don't think trans people should have rights/exist, and should be put in prison, but don't want to actively hunt them for sport, which makes them too lefty liberal for Republicans.

Then you have the actual Republicans like Fetterman, Sinema, and Manchin, who are actual Republicans running as democrats just to act as saboteurs on any democratic vote or cohesion.

and a whole big spectrum from shit to okay in between.
