Damn it's a shame they didn't put in any protections against gutting these essential programs.

GOP wants to kill it. Democrats want to privatize it. Both are an enemy of the people.
You are correct, but idiots still think in team sports terms WAY too much, even here on Lemmy. If one side bad, other side good! If you say anything like "both sides bad", then you're definitely a shill, and definitely not someone aware of how conservative US Democrats actually are!
There's definitely no room to properly discuss how liberals are enemies of leftists, and always have been. Definitely no room to discuss how having to ally with liberals shouldn't give them a free pass for all the BS. Definitely no room to discuss how the lesser of two evils is still evil!
Weird that he knew all this would happen but did nothing to mitigate it.
Almost like the Democrats let the Republicans do their dirty work for them.
There are so very many actual things wrong with the Democrat party but if you're actually stupid enough to think that they wanted what the Republicans just did you need to shut the fuck up forever and never vote in any election ever again. It's inexcusable levels of dipshit, even farther than the pro Israel crowd.
Jesus Christ give it a fucking rest. Democrats do not ask Republicans do be horrific evil monsters and that is a goddamned stupid fucking idea
It really comes down to if you blame the scorpion or the frog?
Both are responsible for the outcome imo.
It's in Republicans nature to be destructive and selfish. There's supposed to be another party that meaningfully opposes that.
They do meaningfully oppose that. If you realize that the worst of the party and Bernie Sanders and AOC aren't the same fucking people. Aka if you realize reality exists
One of those two people are democrats, and the democratic party actively fights progressives.
Just look at how much more they fought that NYC mayor canidate who beat out the establishment favorite in the primary.
The DNC continues to show it is an establishment party, people will continue to become disillusioned with them as long as they keep failing to make meaningful tangible change.
Both of those candidates are Democrats for all intents and purposes. Vermont is an incredibly unique situation given that an independent has virtually no chance on any level anywhere else.
If you can never miss an opportunity to generalize about the only group doing any damn thing good ever, you're either doing it on purpose for a pro-republican reason, or you're ignorantly shooting yourself in the foot. You're actively discouraging votes.
Which is it? Or do you just want to take this as another opportunity for an idiotic conspiracy theory about how AOC is actually fucking Alex Jones and is working to exterminate the Jews or some shit?
You can't accept that independent does not mean democrat.
Process reality
Internalize reality
Until there are canidates who support the working class that are allowed to make meaningful change then people will continue to lose faith in the political process.
So Bernie was running as an independent for president then? Whoopsie, he wasn't, conspiracy person
Hillary explicitly supported the Trump campaign because she thought he was the only candidate more vile than her.
Too stupid to even expect mental patients to believe
Google pied piper strategy 2016.
There are literally hundreds of articles on it. It's a strategy they are still employing. The Democrats accelerationism is completely out of control.
The moon is filled with cheese because giant space cows once ruled the galaxy.
democrats don't help the middle class
"Why won't the Dems do something?! Shame on them!"
Republicans does something that actively hurts the middle class
"Why won't the Dems do something?! Shame on them!"
If you don't expect Republicans to be shit by now you're a fool.
I expect Democrats to be sensible and perform meaningful opposition to the corruption of the Republican party, but they can't or won't.
I want to be able to support a party that opposes wealth inequality and the working class, but there isn't one right now.
