If Newsome was "treading water", I'd be fine with him. But he's not. He's attacking destroying the lives of homeless people. Throwing Trans people to the wolves. He's not "Lesser Neutral", he's "Lesser Evil".
How are we going to find something to help out with the Democrats actively fighting against us?
You are simping. You are defending a person that would throw you under the bus in a heartbeat. Yes he's better than Trump, but that doesn't make him acceptable. Continuing to accept people like him is how we ended up with Trump.
We are doing something about it. And every time we do, a bunch of Democrats tell us how evil we are, before they run off to bomb kids, and back genocides.
It's literally not what I'm saying. I also never said that one party wasn't better than the other. You are the one claiming that we're waiting for a "perfect" candidate, I'm saying that we just want someone that isn't a monster, and the Dems refuse to deliver on that.
If they would stop supporting the facists, and stop handing the elections over to them, we'd have better options. But they'd rather lose and keep supporting facists, than allow the voters to pick someone that isn't a monster.
Then we're fucked. Start looking at parties and organizations that are doing something to help out, instead of simping for a party that is actively supporting the fascists.
Well then, maybe they could fix the housing costs, or the food costs, or the education costs, or health-care costs. Or increase wages. You know the other things that voters care about that you keep ignoring.
I never said that. There is an easy way to keep the GOP out: Put up a candidate with policies that the voters want. But the Democrats seem pretty allergic to that.
That's not fixing inflation. That's putting a bandaid on a broken leg, and calling it fixed. There are structural problems, that the Democrats pretty openly refuse to address.
You’re right, as there is always funding available when it comes to international conflicts that relate to US interests...
Agreed. That's why Biden spent his time helping out his military friends, and bombing the shit out of innocent people, instead of helping American voters.
2020 is a prime example of Republicans bailing out their rich friends since they demanded that there be zero oversight for the several trillions of dollars going out to stimulate businesses.
Agreed, and Biden's bailouts were another prime example of the Democrats helping their rich friends too.
Because Democrats did not have big enough majorities in 2021, they were unable to secure additional Covid aid for people...Namely, having Sinema and Manchin, who are both Independents, did not help as they both refused to join with Democrats....
Well, that was the excuse they used:
They should have tried negotiating, but couldn't be bothered to. They were busy helping out their friends. Biden also could have extended the covid relief, but chose not to.
So Biden was trying any way he could to get it passed.
Except for all the ways that would have actually worked. He could have just sent out the money, like he did with Israel. But he slow-rolled it, and sent it to the Supreme Court so they could shoot it down, and he could look like the good guy, without actually doing anything
I see that there is some value because they are trying to vote in policies that would actually help people, but they lack the votes to actually pass these things.
No, they had plenty of votes, but chose to pretend that they were powerless so that they didn't have to do anything. Once again, it was clear that they could get shit done when it came to bombing kids, and helping out their rich friends, but couldn't seem to muster up the energy when it came to the voters.
I do see the Democratic Party itself slowly becoming more progressive...
lolwut? The same party that campaigned with the Cheneys? that said they would keep bombing people oversees? That said they wanted more border controls, and are already backing down on support for LGBTQ+ people?
They didn’t have the votes to change many of those things in the past, and up until more of the early-2010s Democrats were still doing Gerrymandering themselves at times.
Yes they did. They just didn't care because it wasn't what their donors wanted.
Last I heard "...the DNC charter’s promise of ‘impartiality and evenhandedness’ as a mere political promise—political rhetoric that is not enforceable in federal courts..."
I'm sure the people that went bankrupt due to illness will be glad to hear that. Or the people that could no longer feed their kids due to Biden taking away their benefits. Or the students that still owe money becuase Biden chose to dick around instead of fixing their debt.
We're aware who is fanning the flames. We also see Democratic politicians holding a match and a can of gasoline, and we're told that it's our fault for asking for something better.
If Newsome was "treading water", I'd be fine with him. But he's not. He's attacking destroying the lives of homeless people. Throwing Trans people to the wolves. He's not "Lesser Neutral", he's "Lesser Evil".
