I'm done. I can't with them anymore. I've voted dem every single election since 08 and they can't seem to beat a literal fascist 2 out of 3 times. It's not because they aren't the progressive party, it's because they don't actually do anything. they talk, but don't act.

I get it. I came to similar conclusions sometime between Hillary's loss and the end of the 2020 primaries. -Trump is not some intellectual mastermind, it takes a special amount of arrogance on behalf of his opponents to lose a presidential campaign against him. To think the Dem party lost to him twice...

they talk, but don't act

The main messaging from the Harris campaign seemed to consist of:

  • the economy is fine
  • immigrants are fentanyl carrying criminals and we need to build the border wall
  • fracking good
  • war good (continued expansion of Israel, keep arming Ukraine instead of pushing for a diplomatic resolution, and let's invade Iran next with the most lethal fighting force in the world)
  • what, do you want a DANG CHEETO in the white house?

They don't walk the walk of a pro worker party, but they sure as shit don't talk the talk either.

when the hell did the dem party become the party of lethal military, border wall and fracking? It's like they wanted to alienate their base.

And right on cue, they admitted that the 30-day humanitarian aid deadline for Gaza was a lie. I mean we knew it was, since the deadline was conveniently after the election, but it was still an insult.
