The Democrats are the lesser of the two evils. They are more subtle about not really helping the lower-class and fixing the insane amount of poverty in the USA.

It's hard to stand for any principles when you're bought and paid for by the very people who are currently riding their insanity bus with trump.
People assume the Democratic party don't know what they are doing. They know precisely what they are doing by feigning they don't know what they are doing.
The oligarchs really have both parties, and the country in its entirety as a result, by the balls. That is why it is crucial to realise to also protest against oligarchy alongside "No Kings" protest. Trump is only the front and fall guy, it is the oligarchs who are truly in power.

I made this meme a while ago:
I am increasingly worried that the Democrat/Republican divide, or the US democracy in general, is mostly a "divide and conquer" scheme. It makes people believe they can choose their country's path, but actually, both parties agree on essential questions of economics, such as that there are practically no taxes on the rich, that there's weak social safety nets, and such.
The differences between the parties are only in the culture, or as i say, in the sexuality, which should be a private issue overall, and it makes for an excellent distraction from economic issues.
The only thing that politics actually should care about is the socio-economic situation, i.e. how much resources do people have to live.
Dems watch too much movies where the good guys keep letting the bad guy live.
Why do you think the rich love making movies with that trope so much. Or the ones where revolutionaries always end up just as bad as the oppressor they overthrew.
revolutionaries always end up just as bad as the oppressor they overthrew
To be fair, this happens a lot. Not "always" but too often enough.
Even the American Revolution. So yay, overthrew "British Tyranny". So you're gonna free the slaves, right? Right? "Freedom" remember? (Well y'all know the rest of the history)
Edit: Cherry on top, the UK now has a better healthcare system than the US 🤣
Isn't that the core ideology of Conservatism? The current lot are radicals though.
Yeah. The MCU is probably the biggest offender. Luckily hardly anyone watches that garbage. There is this thing where people call the movies 'woke' but they are not. At least not beyond a surface level anyway (makes it easier to cut out all the gay stuff for violent dictatorships. Plus, most of the heroes belong to a wealthy/noble class while the others are either cops or soldiers.
I vaguely remember, compared to DC, Marvel has often been comparatively okay with killing, in part because of the scale of villains they go up against - secret armies of a new world order or space aliens, as opposed to thugs employed by a gangster.
That does quiet down when they go face to face with a human that wasn't born with powers, though.
Low isn't required, but not being a giant pussy is, and, by extension, knowing the difference.
Don’t have to go low to tell the fucking truth and call it as it is. They just need to stop pandering and open their fucking mouths.
One party acts like it cares about people and the other party doesn't care about even trying, but they both work for the same people.
its actually a UNIPARTY, a coalition party of both sides. because majority of the time they do vote together on some issues but not others.
The capitalist party if you would
I liked where we were heading with "weird". We could've done better, but it was a step... maybe the only step.
Dems don't need to go low. They need to stop chasing conservative voters.
The reason they are so timid on everything is because the consultant class has convinced them that if they are just a bit more right wing, they'll win the next election.
If Dems fired the consultants and chased the working class, they'd win big time. People hate the Dems because they are corporate captured.
Dems don’t need to go low.
Yeah, they just need to stop taking the high road. The regular road where people are called out held accountable for being terrible is fine, no need to go low.
Good ol America where your options are corporate captured, or corporate captured but with slurs and hate speech.
We get to choose between Coke and Pepsi, when what we really need is a nice clean glass of water.
It’s either that or many dems are ok with sitting back and acting helpless while they take their lobbying bribes and invest in the markets they regulate. Why change a system that personally benefits them so much?
They wouldn’t if we voted for progressives in the primaries. The 15% that shows up for congressional primaries are almost exclusively retirees. They always pick the most conservative Democrat. We should be voting twice every two years, not once every four, for national elections alone.

“We need the conservatives to keep the conservatives in check!”
This country needs political literacy and situational understanding, there aren’t two parties.

Especially with this guy getting a couple of 2nd degree charges. And Luigi being labeled a terrorist. Shits fucked yo.
Luigi is a terrorist.
Wait what, seriously? Killing a CEO is terrorism, but two politicians is just "normal" murder? That's absolutely fucked.
"Listen, we're doing fine. We have two clear paths to victory and they involve completely ignoring progressives. I mean yeah, sure, we could win big time with them but that's not happening, we're not letting that happen, stop asking for ice cream we're going to eat rocks and you're going to like it. Our two paths to victory are 1: becoming more conservative to get conservative voters or 2: a giant meteor breaks up in the atmosphere and large chunks hit major Republican strongholds. Those are the two realistic paths we're following. WE'RE GOING TO IGNORE PROGRESSIVES, STOP ASKING!"
Why would they grow a spine? The people funding them are the same as those funding the people who are fine with this happening.

As much as i am applied by the behavior and ideas of the Republican GOP.. I am disappointed by the lack of any real effort to stop them from the Democrats
they seem to be afraid of offending them

The democrats don’t mind offending people. Like minorities like Trans or Disabled people. They only walk on eggshells around conservatives for some reason.
Yeah no if the Democrats start peddling the same kind of bullshit that the Republicans do, I'm not voting for them either. That also goes for candidates who are just miserable fucking assholes. I don't want them to win over Republican voters, I want them to inspire the people who are sick of the lack of any real progressive views.
