But the Democrats are:

  • Bomb kids fucked up
  • Torture innocent people fucked up
  • Build out the infrastructure for fascism fucked up
  • Genocide supporting fucked up
  • Refusing to fight against MAGA fucked up
  • Taking money from the poor and working class, and giving it to the rich fucked up
  • Bragging about how many people they deported fucked up
  • Not giving people fair immigration trials fucked up

Some of us think that those things are kind of a big deal. Are Democrats better than Trump? Sure. Is a Neo-lib better than Trump? Sure, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to vote for a party that openly fights against the things I believe in, like:

  • Healthcare for all
  • Equal treatment for everyone under the law
  • The rich paying their fair share of taxes
  • The US to stop bombing innocent people
  • Stopping the war machine
  • Stop backing a genocide
  • Free Education
  • Affordible housing
  • Fixing the immigration system

The system sucks but you're never getting any of the things you want from it without the Democratic party. Leftists should be taking over the party instead of abandoning it. Or letting themselves get played into abandoning it by those who want to disempower the left. The system guarantees that we get two parties and we're not going to take the GOP so the Dems are really it. It sucks but it is what is, you can't wield the state without first wielding one of the two parties. There is no other realistic path to power under the system.

We're not going to get the things that we want from the Democratic party. They've been overwhelmingly clear that they would rather keep losing elections than give us any of those things. Why would I keep investing in a party that openly and strongly tells me "No, go fuck yourself. We're gonna keep bombing children" ?

If you want to try and fix the Democrats, then go get em tiger. I have no problems with others trying to fix it from the inside. But I'm not wasting my time with them.
