Two things can be true at once.

Republicans can be traitorous shitbags AND Democrats can consistently play spoiler and controlled opposition only showing their colors when they have to. It's not every Democrat, but the wealthy and foreign interests like AIPAC buy Democrats just as well as Republicans. Why do you think Chuck Schumer keeps rambling on about how his main job is supporting Israel? While they are blatantly committing a genocide and attacking many of their neighbors as a belligerant state... nothing to see here... better pony up more cash to them... Main concern nothing else going on right now... You'd think in a national crisis as a leader of an opposition party that opposing the other party would be the main goal. Nope not a concern just need to make it look like they are opposing while making sure Israel keeps getting our tax dollars.

Haven't you noticed every time there is a critical vote Democrats will act tough and then oh gosh look its the rogue dems again to help Republicans along... Like the budget battle a couple months ago where the exact number of 8 Democrats needed to give Republicans enough votes to push their treacherous "Big Beautiful Bill" though suddenly materialized... and then when pressed a few of them said oh yeah no biggie we worked with Chuck and had the blessing... only safe votes i.e. people not up for reelection any time soon. How convenient... Remember that vote gave ICE the budget to rival branches of the military? Would have been a good time to make a stand huh? Not to even mention the healthcare subsidies or the fact that that was 40 days into a shutdown and dems rolled over when they were in the right.

Now we're getting ready for a Kamala 2028 run that absolutely nobody is asking for, because in my opinion, the party leadership are overall fine with Trumps actions and even happier Republicans are getting the heat for it so why would they want to take power? Their masters are the same masters as Republicans... Same logic to why they scuttled Bernies run to favor Hillary paving the way for Trumps first term. The wealthy do not want a progressive anywhere near the presidency and risk actual consequences to their actions or being able to treat our democracy as their personal feifdoms and destroying it for their personal gain.

We have two right wing parties in America. There really is no true left when it comes to viable political parties, and that's by design. The ever revolving choices between a turd sandwich and a shit sandwich. It's why the government no matter who is in charge does their damndest to prevent ranked choice voting. Would makes it a lot harder to ensure its turd vs shit sandwich and without it, ensures we the people never make meaningful gains, and pretty much nothing compared to the wealthy that own both parties.

So yeah don't ignore reality that it's an issue with both parties. Republicans are absolutely worse from a public perception and the impact of their actions, but Democratic leadership and a collective of Reps are moving in the shadows to help the Republican agenda from what I've seen. And beyond that don't forget that both parties are captured by monied interests and are functionally the right and left hands for the ultra wealthy and foreign interests that bought them.
