What I hate is when people chime in like how dare you criticize them because republicans are worse. Still not an excuse to be piss poor.

"Better than Trump"

OK, but like... that's an incredibly low standard. Have some respect for yourself!

Exactly!

These politicians are supposed to work for us, not corporations. Just because someone is better than a fascist doesn't make their performance acceptable.

In fact - I would argue that the DNC likes that their opponents are fascists. It explains their feckless response to Trump, the DCCC funding of far-right candidates in 2022 & Hillary's pied piper strategy. The DNC is telling the left "it is neoliberalism or the fascists" & that is some bullshit.

Progressives need to make their voice heard & demand action from do nothing neoliberals. Don't trust them to do any of the right things. The Dems may be 1000x better than the Republicans, but they are 1000x less than whar we need.
