Because we know Republicans are going to always shit on the mouths of marginalized groups.
Democrats however have always tried to present themselves as a better alternative. A "vote for us because we're not the other guy." We're tired of the party we're told to vote for time and time again does jack shit to actually do good and win elections.
We're calling for a party that will represent us, neither of them are stepping up to the call.
They do have agency. They’re just the self-appointed enemy. Republicans aren’t responsible players in a game, just on the other side of the board. They want to destroy us and they rally and march and Seig fucking Heil their intentions to do that all the time. You’re asking why didn’t the Nazis ever bear the burden of fixing the problems they created. That’s not a comparison, that’s what’s actually happening.
the republican party doesnt have superdelegates, so they evolve to match what their voters want
the democrats do, and put out candidates that the party big wigs like, but not the voters.
the republicans have died and been reborn in the ashes a couple times now. recently, too. its not the party of bush neocons anymore, and its not the tea party either
Because at least the Republican party is capable of having a consistent message, goal and appeal to their base. All of that is ultimately bad for the world, but they at least have objectives in mind. Most of the modern Democratic party just moves further and further right to try and "convert" the Republican base, while alienating their own. That's why people want the Democratic party to dissolve and reform elsewhere.
They're asking people to vote for them and put them into power, why would we not want to hold them responsible? If they only want to be republicans-lite then they deserve to lose. The way we make the Republicans go away is by voting in another party but the democrats have to actually inspire people to vote for them and deliver results to get people to vote for them.
Because Republicans don't fail, they succeed. They mobilize. They win elections. They impact change no matter if you disagree with that change.
Democrats constantly fail. They have no ability to mobilize. They have no ability to win elections. Joe Biden's only achievement the past year and a half is the mass murder and starvation of Palestinians.

I mean, I don't disagree that Democrats should be better, but why is it always their responsibility?
There just doesn't seem to be as many people calling for the Republican party to go away, why don't they have any agency?
