This is a disfunctioning democracy.
The problem is that the true left is excluded from the game. The center (democrat) talk like they will do something, but they rarely do so, even when they have full power to do it. Then when elections come, they put the responsibility on the leftists to stop the fascists.
It is hypocrite and toxic. It fuels fascism. It is not a solution. It's building a dig to protect from a hurricane. It's at best buying some time for the center to keep the status quo and let the problems rot.
