God I hope he does I fucking pray he does

To close this off, I'm just tired. I'm tired of the Dems just getting off with some nasty words now just to pull their Messiah complex bullshit next election and everything be sunshine and rainbows. They're a problem too. They aren't the good guy, they're the bare minimum alternative to the bad guy.

Because like look, man. Maybe the country is just red now, sure. Maybe Elon didn't pull any funky shit and we're just coping about a steal. But we're *REALLY* not going to double check? We're just *REALLY* gonna "take the high road" and cede power without verifying? Shits a joke man.

They don't give a fuck about being in power even! Because they're unpopular when they don't do anything in office! Kamala handed that election away ASAP when it got called there was no like, "hey my fellow progressives, we should recount because shit looks funny" just "haha yeah here you go"

You can write my rant off as conspiratorial but like ask yourself, aren't the Dems kinda telling on themselves with each and every new thing that happens? That they don't give a fuck about us and they are NOT a friendly party? They're there because when someone doesn't vote red they soak the vote.

And do we *REALLY* think these fucking people aren't also benefitting from like insider trading and shit behind it all? Like seriously? The money they make and the positions they're in and they ARENT taking advantage of it? We just need to fucking get real man we can't fix this by just bitching.

It's just a game of dress up. There are probably individual politicians who do actually have wants to help the public but most of them are just rich leeches that vote for whatever keeps them popular with their constituency so they can collect a paycheck. If they want something to pass they collude.

Yes, I'm aware the Trumpers hold the house and senate but frankly that doesn't even matter in the scope of what I'm talking about. The Democratic party exists to enable the Republicans because they all fucking benefit from this shit. It's the "Bad guy" party and the "Good guy" party

When a Republican president is in they do whatever the fuck they want regardless of backlash and when a Democrat president is in it's just complaints about how everyone is so ungrateful and they're blocked all the time and it's totally not them being too inept to fucking govern.

Every day I get convinced that the inside political status quo in this country is the ruling party (rep) and the opposition party (dem), where the Democrats stance is precisely one step on the opposite side of whatever line the Republicans draw on an issue.

They never push, they never act.

Oh look, it's the Dems being fucking pathetically weak and spineless shit birds again and giving everything to Republicans for free while shaking their heads so we know they don't agree with it.

If Schumer fell off a bridge and lived but broke every bone in his body, it would be a good day.

Genuinely, honestly, it might not even be that like every Republican all the way from the bottom to the top is evil, it genuinely might just be a stupidity thing. Imagine if they don't actually have James bond villain plans and it's that they're just too stupid to know what good and bad is.

I got sold on this being the case when they overwhelmingly sucked trump off over the "I'm gonna lower prices" thing. No evidence of how he would or even could do so, he just said he was gonna do it, and that's great! "He said he was going to do that for me and that justifies my vote."

I think it's very possible that it's just that they're *told* that it's good. "We're doing this for you, we're doing that for you." It doesn't exactly matter to them if there's any truth to the claim, but they feel justified because the people they're voting for are saying they're helping them.

Beat me to it, damn

Just saying, being "the tolerant left" got us here. Kinda feels like being intolerant of certain things we've let fly is the only way forward.

I dont care if the guy killed that CEO.

There aren't two sides, the "little shit had it coming" has a monopoly on this one. If the kid didn't want to get hit they shouldn't have been so hittable.

Call me a conspiracy theorist but the fact that the Democrats grovel at the feet of the right every time there's a conflict doesn't give me high hopes that they're gonna stick up for a trans-woman in Congress.

"Shut up, sit down, or we don't back you." Is pretty much what I'm envisioning.

Just another little thing that popped in my head, I'd hazard a guess Sarah McBride doesn't WANT to just take it on the chin and get fucked over with the whole bathroom situation, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear that other Democrats would black sheep her if she fought it.

They're woefully spineless. They exist to be the party just left of wherever the right is. The party line is wherever conservatives decide it is on every issue. The Democrats will be right there when they're called sitting JUST on the other side of it.

It's embarrassing.

Just as a bit of a conclusion and clarification, I'm talking about the Dem political party, not progressive peoples. I know there's a shitton of wonderful allies and people who also just want to help each other.

But the Democratic Political Party can eat a dick.

I'm always gonna vote blue, but I just want to kind of open up the idea that the Democrats are not going to protect trans people or our rights.

They are our only option until something changes, but they only give a fuck about us because the other side hates us.

We're bargaining chips to them.

I'm not going on this rant to further a "both sides bad" kind of argument, but I feel like I just want to finally get it off my chest that like, yeah I fucking hate Biden, and I hate Kamala's ass too, and I fucking loathe that I've got to vote for them just to keep my rights where they are.

Clown-ass candidates, apologetic concessions to fascists, and an incessant need to point out that they're "progressive" in the sense that they aren't the other guys. I've never felt like the Democratic political party was my friend, I've felt like the Democratic political party is my only option.

I vote left because I believe in progress and human rights and standing up against fascism, but the Democratic party seems to exist to me as the bare fucking minimum in doing so. I don't feel like there's an actual push to progress from them anymore.

I realize now as a trans adult that I wasn't exactly wrong for hating them both back then. The Republican party is absolutely authoritarian and evil, yes, but the Democratic party is also opportunistic in the sense that whatever line the right draws, they will cozy right up to it on the other side.

I grew up in a very conservative area with a very conservative family and I remember my "oh shit" moment when I realized just how evil the people around me were. The thing that was kind of tragic to me is that I hated the Democratic party at the same time, possibly just due to like, indoctrination.

I helped convince a friend to try league of legends am i a bad person?

Another really cool thing about this website so far is that there aren't nearly as many "Hello my fellow kids" corpo postings. Which will probably happen but for now the break is pretty nice.
