I agree, but also don't think we should be so devoted as to defend them for being the only ones who can help us and having them watch and do nothing. They're more concerned with the people running on doing more. Is that an Ally or just the weaker of two enemies?
We should absolutely push the Democrats to do better and support DSA and other farther left candidates. Short term though, they are the best chance to wrest control of the government back from the MAGA fascists.
They are the best chance insofar as we can change the party. FDR enacted many of his policies because the alternative was a mass uprising leading to murder of the owner class/scabs and the visuals of the societal abandonment of our elderly was dumping gasoline on the fire.
Well vote for progressives in the fuckin primaries and pull the fuckin party left because it's literally the only fuckin option that isn't republicans winning. Y'all can refuse to grasp the political reality all you want, but it doesn't change it.
It's not refusing to grasp anything to talk about how our options are falling to hell or floating for a while. You're preaching to the choir about how to change it and if you haven't noticed: That is what's happening. We are entitled to bitch in the meantime, especially about areas where corporate and consultant interests superseded people's own best interests due to record levels of spending and nonstop concern trolling (eg: Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Oliver Larkin, Charles Booker, etc). We also don't need permission from anyone to do so, thanks for your concern.
