    Democrats are part of the problem, yes. I wrote them a really angry letter, that I’m sure never was read, on the day after election day.

    What’s up for dispute here is that I think “leftists” who refused to vote are largely to blame for this specific situation we’re in now. They didn’t care and here we are. You seem to understand those people’s perspectives and put all blame on the party which I find absurd. It’s a common attitude on this platform and it’s an incorrect reading of reality.

      “Blame” doesnt matter. And the DNC cant win an election without the left. Its just math.

        You’re one of those “no true scotsman” types when it comes to the label “the left” so please go away.

      put all blame on the party

      Imagine how bad they see the democrats to be, when the democratic voters simply failed to show up!
      If they think Democrats are no better than republicans, they kind of have a point. Harris had nice ideas about helping people buy a house, but how the fuck does that help the homeless or others that are REALLY struggling, way beyond the ability to buy a house?
      If you can buy a house with a little help, you are not struggling to survive. Democrats are not there for the poor. There is very little idealism left in American politics, it’s been squashed by 2 majority parties that monopolize politics.

      That’s not a fault of the poor, or the leftists that want real improvements, maybe like the Scandinavian model. AOC has explained this again and again, but democrats still pander to the right, because they are more in favor of wall street than helping the poor.

      Some of those people voted for Trump, in part because they are stupid, but also in part to bring the pain to others too.
      That’s what you get with a dysfunctional democracy, and PLEASE tell me again how that isn’t also a problem with the democrats???
