I think Democrats can be influenced

That's what they said before the Biden election. Instead we got "Fuck you we don't need you" and genocide. Do you think Lucy is ever going to let you kick the football?

Instead we got “Fuck you we don’t need you”

Can you provide some examples? I don't think you live in objective reality if you believe that. There was good and bad, but mostly good, and we saw an administration that was trying to do what it promised to do, even if it didn't always succeed. There was a massive infrastructure bill, healthcare disability for veterans affected by toxins while serving, a bill that reduced child poverty by half until Manchin decided a year's worth was enough, subsidies for union-made appliances, a plan that would have reduced GHG emissions by 40% by 2030, negotiated drug prices starting with insulin, etc. He tried to forgive student loan debt but the courts blocked it. They granted pardons to a bunch of low level drug offenders.

None of this sounds like "fuck you." It sounds like a government that was trying and accomplished a lot, but then you rewarded those efforts by failing to show up for the midterms, and then Republicans stopped any remaining momentum. Elections have consequences.

That's pretty lame coming from a President born from twenty ratfuckers all promising "Bernie's policies but even better", nevermind the idea of him enacting genocide.

Mamdani got more done in a week.

Trump was awesome at stopping the genocide. That's on you.

You did genocide and you still lost, so what was the fucking point of it?

Was losing worth it?
