There's no doubt there are bad apples on democratic party, but the notion that they are one unified block is absolutely wrong.

We essentially have two parties: Republicans and party representing everyone else.

For example check Blue Dogs caucus, those are essentially Republicans that don't line trump. So called New Democrats are calling themselves centrists. In American politics what's center is called right everywhere else.

This is why Democrats often fight as aggressive as we would like them too, because they need to find compromises between themselves. Want Democrats that fight for people, vote in primaries and local election and install progressives. There's a shift, but we need a bigger one.

The wild thing is that republicans are conservative and democrats are centrists.

By "both sides," people seem to mean right and middle.

Can we have an actual left?

I'm kind of there with you.

"Both sides are bad" = true.

"Both sides are the same" = false.

But one side wants to give you health care

Well, part of one side. There are Dem politicians who either don't support M4A or only support it when it clearly has no chance of succeeding and thus their support will be irrelevant, dropping that support when it starts mattering.

One side is:

• raping children
• murdering US citizens
• dismantling the healthcare system without the required approval
• bragging about tampering with voting machines
• starting trade wars and
• starting actual wars.

The other side, for all their faults, are not doing all that.
