      They are better than the alternative, but folks want them to be perfect when Nazis are running around killing Americans and if they’re not then fuck em.

        Want them to stop accepting corporate bribe money and start representing their constituents. Perfect is so far from the ask here. Literally just want them to not be total sacks of shit.

        No, I want them to GTFO of the way. If our election system only admits two major parties, then they are complicit by camping out in one of the slots, preventing a political party that’d actually put up a fight from arising. Whatever their alleged motivation, or level of cooperation, it no longer matters at this point; they have been the party in that second slot as U.S. political institutions slid into fascism over the course of decades. The record shows that they’re not going to turn it around should they win back Congress in the mid-terms (if we even have elections). At best, they might stave off full fascism for another few election cycles. That’s the issue we have with Democrats.

        Well I want the Dems to literally light themselves on fire for what they did to Gaza, but really “folks” just want Dems to be decent. Like Dems don’t even want to defund ICE, they just want to put down bullshit procedural crap that they’ll face zero consequences

        It’s not funny at all. If the Dems weren’t such obvious controlled opposition, there could be an alternative to fascism. Americans haven’t had a choice for some time now, which is precisely how we got into this mess.

          well, in the situation we’ve been in for the last who knows how tf many decades, where it’s “DNC’s pick or nobody” you’d think people would at least wise up and vote against nazi fascism, rather than think they’re actually doing something by sitting out or going 3rd party.

          exactly what was accomplished by going with the 100% guaranteed fail route? take a look around-- are you going to tell me a kamala potus (or literally ANYONE else) would have been nearly as bad? how’s that genocide going? i know i didn’t specify the gaza genocide or the usa genocide because i leave it to you to take your pick
