The moment they capitulated and caved on the shutdown, all to save themselves and their rich friend’s the horror of losing money over the holidays or being unable to fly to some exotic place on the same runways they refuse to pay taxes to fund, the Democrats proved what everyone already knew. They’re controlled opposition. They’ll fight with everything they have to prevent a progressive candidate from getting anywhere near the system while allowing fascism to kick down the door with lip-service opposition.
Before Biden, the performance was believable, or at least palatable. After allowing tRump to skirt consequences for January 6, and even allowing him to be on the ballot at all, it was clear there was no intention of meaningful opposition or change. Until and unless we can remove these legislative dinosaurs and get progressives or working people into positions of power, no change will happen. I fear that with the wealth inequalities and immense power wielded by a few, it may have become too late to contain this beast. Nothing can save this system.
Not so much anymore. It’s pretty clear this is what they want.

You weren’t around for 2000 then?
Sure, but how politically active were you in your teenage years and early twenties?
I recognized what was happening as a literal child.
