      Biden could have ended the Ukraine and Palestine wars anytime he wanted, but no, he had to appease the MIC and the Zionists. They could have even arrested/killed Trump. All they want is just play pretend and pretend they are different from the Republicans while demonizing and kicking out any Democrat politician that attempt to do something other than just sit around, post “progressive” things on social media while they vote to send Latinos and other minorities to Guantanamo Bay.

      You know what frustration is? Frustration is asking a dem voter why they don’t transfer that energy they have to argue with anti-genocide protestors to the DNC instead; they’ll still argue with you all the way and they still won’t have that heat for the DNC. They would literally rather argue with millions and millions of people who still have a human soul than tell one ghoul to stop engaging in genocide.

      Are Biden and Kamala legally required to participate in genocide? Are they robots programmed to do this? Why don’t you say something to them instead of people who want an end to genocide!

        It’s because those liberals also support genocide and imperialism. They don’t criticize the DNC because the DNC is doing exactly what its constituents want. What they don’t want is to be viewed the same as republicans, who they think are uneducated rubes with “no class.”

        They would rather act hostile towards leftists because leftists are fundamentally opposed to liberalism.

    The contradiction at the heart of the Democratic Party is that they have a donor base that wants them to just be the GOP, but more respectable and less religious fundamentalist; while the voter base wants them to actually do things like M4A, work to mitigate climate change, etc. They don’t have a “strategy” anymore because Kamala’s loss showed that the base really is starting to give up on them for not doing anything. But if the DNC were to actually pursue their votes by instead of throwing all your effort into parading Liz Cheney around to try and get conservative, white, suburban votes, then you alienate your donors.

    I think they’re just counting on a major recession happening in the next four years (highly likely IMO) and riding that, and never trying to resolve that contradiction.

      Sorry, anti-genocide machine broke. How’s some student loan forgiveness for Pell grant recipients who’ve operated a business in a minority neighborhood for 4 years?

      Most of them and a lot of bootlickers deny that a genocide is even taking place. I’ve seen libs use a picture of an 80 year old in jubilation as proof that “I’ve never seen a genocide where an 80 year old has that much energy”. These are deranged people

    They spent 8 years with a core strategy of “We’re Not Trump!”.

    Literally, they can just do it again with every peice of legislation and political shenangans to frustrate the Repulican Party political project and they’d all be heroes whether they succedded or failed.

    Instead, all we’re going to see from the highest ranks of Dem leadership is, “Welp, I guess we’ve got to give the R’s everything they want for 4 years. whomp whomp

    They don’t know how to oppose trump because they agree with all of his policies. At best they might want ICE to target people who aren’t working on farms so they can keep the farms running on cheap labour

    I’m glad the democrats are finally wrestling with this instead of continuing to pretend that nothing is wrong. I’m not expecting them to actually improve, though.
