Having a chance to improve things is a Democratic nightmare scenario, and they do everything in their power to make sure they never get that opportunity. But how about today? Today they could endorse the Democratic nominee for mayor of NYC. That has a good chance of improving some things. Or how about Bill Clinton not choosing to dismantle the federal safety net, or Obama choosing to prosecute Wall Street criminals instead of reward them? How about not kneecapping Medicare For All at every opportunity? How about not trying to be Republican lite on immigration or trans rights? How about articulating any kind of vision to compete with Republican hate mongering in the public psyche?
It’s not all about passing legislation. Passing legislation is what happens after you have done all the real work that the Democratic establishment refuses to do.
I’m not disagreeing with any of that. I’m simply stating that things are ALWAYS exponentially worse when the demon spawn fascists seize power.
I wasn’t ever thinking about converting my USD to Renminbi when Biden was in office. Didn’t expect the entire country and economy to collapse at any moment.
So yea, things aren’t nearly perfect under democratic leadership. But significantly and undeniably better in every single metric.
Yeah, Republicans are worse. Got it. However that doesn’t relate at all to your comment that I replied to, or to my reply. In fact, the comment I replied to has nothing to do with my previous comment either.
As bad as Republicans are, never doubt that it’s Democrats who handed them power - over the culture and over the government. Even now, they have learned nothing.
