We largely couldn't in the first place, but thanks for the heads up. There was a hope, sure. But little trust due to little action.

It's a matter of degree. I felt a heck of a lot more protected than I had previously. Action? Not as much as there should have been but hardly zero.

hardly zero.

Yeah, like I said: little. It felt like they were content to do enough to get credit and then kick the can down the road until they were forced to do more. Now we enter an era that will likely strip back what progress has been made. In four years we'll be pushed back forty.

Nobody can trust the Democrats to protect anyone but the investors

Itt: liberals still fever-dreaming that Democrats (as a corporate party, not the voters) are on the side of marginalized communities.

Binary choice.

They never really could. The Democratic party likes to claim issues like same sex marriage and trans rights as if they had anything to do with it. Same sex marriage had to be fought for in the courts during a democrat reign. They used trans rights as a big talking point for 2024 yet made little attempt to safeguard them during the previous 4 years. They ignore their base then take credit for all their accomplishments. They now use lgbt issues as an anchor to avoid promising any meaningful changes. It's the same thing the Republicans have been doing with abortion. All I'm saying is, Bernie2028.

It's gotta be Alexandria Cortez. Bernie is just too old sadly. He's healthy and fitter than the other candidates who are younger than him, but he'll never win now. Our chance was 2016 and he got ratfucked.

Bernie is finally too old. Nobody is coming to save you.
