So many people (or bots, but especially on reddit) get their panties in a bunch when you say the DNC is not your friend. They are complicit. There are a handful of politicians that caucus with Dems that I really believe are fighting for the little guy, but the party as a whole loves the power/wealth the ruling class is gaining through the fascist takeover.
Eh, I dunno. I don’t think the DNC is my “friend”, but I also recognize that the harm caused by democrats is a paltry fraction of that caused by republicans, and I do find it offensive when people equate them, its absolutely lying and I absolutely consider it harmful.
I may be against the existence of the state, but I can also recognize that one choice gets way more people hurt and killed that I don’t want to see hurt or killed.
Just because I recognize that the US is a poor excuse for a democracy doesn’t mean I won’t try and make use of the currently available mechanisms to prevent additional people from being hurt and/or killed. I’m not into the accelerationist bullshit.
I think part of the problem is that many of the people who complain about democrats absolutely will call them fully equal to republicans, which just makes them seem like an idiot that isnt worth listening to because of how separated from reality those comments are.
As bad as in certain situations? Sure. Overall? LOL no.
But just as some people will complain that I just wrote “whole ass paragraphs”, nuance doesn’t often play well on social media (including the fediverse) compared to “strong stances against!!!” whatever thing, which just furthers the divide rather than expanding the further left.
The Dems (neolibs) want the 1990s. They don’t want an oligarchy, and they’re (mostly) not complicit, with a few exceptions.
The Dems, as a whole, have never taken the kind of power that Trump has. Partly because it’s damaging to the country, and partly because it’s blatantly illegal.
The Dems also haven’t had 8 years of cutting internal opposition in primaries. In fact, after the whole Bernie/Hillary thing the Dems went in the opposite direction of that. That’s what you all wanted.
You wanted the party to have less control. The party now has less control, and you’re all :shocked Pikachu: that they’re not able to whip every single member in line.
(Progressives want to fix problems, not just return us to the 1990s. We can do better.)

Just my opinion of course.
