    The modern Democratic party fights harder against its own “base” than they do against the opposing party. People still came out in droves to vote for them despite that but their dedication to complacency in a system that is failing everybody but the rich left enough people behind to tip the scales. The Dems have enabled this and anybody who expects them to save us from it is delusional.

      Save? No

      Stop from making worse? Yes

      Plus I think Democrats will cave to protesters faster than the GOP will, Democrats see people mad at them and they panic, GOP sees people made at them and they shout “Open fire!”

        Harris Democrats saw their constituents mad at them and they responded by telling them to go fuck themselves, so I find your analysis questionable.

        A literal monkey elected to office would do less harm than Trump and the modern Republican party. We can keep arguing that the Dems are the lesser of two evils but until they radically change and grow a spine it’s only delaying the inevitable descent into chaos.

        As for Dems responding to protestors, are you forgetting so soon how the Dems responded to the Palestine protesters over the summer?

      i hate to inform you that most of the people who vote for the democratic party are significantly more centrist than you and me. They really don’t care, as long as it isn’t the republican voter base, i’m sure they have gripes, we all do, but they probably just don’t care as much. That’s why they consistently manage such high, but not winning turnout numbers. They mobilize the majority of their base, not the majority of their base, and anybody else that they can.
