I don't get how libs can tolerate being taken for granted like this. They're not being mature or practical - they're accepting mistreatment by an establishment sworn to serve them.

Trump and his supporters aren't better, but at least he's telling them what they want to hear. He at least made sure to get checks out to people and had his signature stamped on them.

I dunno, at least there's a strategy there. And Biden has had four fucking years and he's done nothing to get people motivated to vote or even register to vote. Not even going into his participation in genocide, it's just a lack of strategy to the point of self-sabotage.

And the entire Democratic party is complicit in all of it. It's like they want to lose, because all I'm hearing are about how bad trump is/was. And it's like, I was fucking there. And after three years, all they can offer is to give him a verbal reprimand and coverage on every major news network, speech, and social media posting.

It's just mind-blowing to think of the wasted time and energy on the part of the US political system.

it is in the material interest of the democratic party to not wield power

People hear this and balk because they picture the “leadership” of the party that requires popular support to maintain office, but what’s really meant is the massive funding base/NGO apparatus/professional politickers ie lanyard-dicks that all get more money and more support when the GOP is in office acting like lunatics. The consultant class gets a new boat every time Trump says something racist in office. Remember that law office that ate up all of Stacy Abrams cash meant to fIgHt FoR vOtInG rIgHtS?

100-com the only thing the Biden admin/dems did about Roe being overturned was fundraise. Its a business. Its the most important election ever, because they want it hyped for the billions it brings in. None of them care
