    This post is full of hogwash, brilliant legislative manuevering? Like Biden throwing up his hands and saying “oh geez, can’t fight for a $15 minimum wage because of the parlimentarian!” which is hilarious now to watch the Republicans steam roll the Parlimentarian as if it mattered.

    I am sorry but I have to laugh in yoru face, do you think these bills proposed to curb insider trading by the Democrats every had ANY chance of succeeding when people like Nancy Pelosi are getting rich off it in PLAIN SIGHT to the american public? Ok, Republcians did block those bills but they were dead before they were even drafted by virtue of Democrats in power not actually opposing these things because it benefits them.

    Where has been a consistent fight and conversation around campaign finance reform in the Democratic party from people other than Bernie Sanders and a handful of others? Centrist democrats just let that drop as soon as they torpoed Bernie and look were NOT choosing to focus on fighting that has got us? We probably can’t recover democracy now and the blame DIRECTLY falls on the opposition party to fascism not doing anything when they had the power to do so.

    Your post is a cynical twisting of reality into a narrative that fits what you want, Democrats are trying and they just need our support!

    I am sorry but your vision of reality is wrong, they have no by and large been fighting for the average USian, and if you think they are you are almostttt as foolish as a Trump supporter.

    Don’t call leftists who point out that the Democratic party is rotten to the core “cynical”, when it is you that is the cynical one trying to bring nervous people back into a mindset that things aren’t existentially broken, they just need to be tweaked, some of those people will listen to you and it is going to hurt them severely and they are going to walk away far more cynical and unwilling to fight than if they had never listened to you in the first place.

      Ok, I’m sorry, you’re right, literally every bad thing that Republicans do is actually Democrats fault.

      Try harder, comrade.

        How about you try harder to take criticism without retreating to falsely portraying the views of the person that is pointing out how wrong you are as black and white, extremist and in hyperbolic opposition to your views.

        This is blatantly a coping tactic to make yourself feel better about your beliefs, which are deeply and problematically flawed.

            no? are you seriously resorting to this kind of childish behavior? Do you honestly believe that I am anti-semitic and because of that I just WANTED to type jew so much that I slipped when typing… view? Like what?

            You are behaving like a child and at this point it utterly undermines your entire argument, keep talking you are making yourself look like a fool.
