There's only so much a president can do on his own...

Maybe if he spent less time chasing interns.
I can't understand the "2 sides of the same coin" argument. Are you not paying attention?
One party makes slow progress towards improving things. The other party rapidly destroys things and is proud of it.
It feels like the "both sides" argument stems from things not being perfect, so "I'm not going to consider nuance, just the fact that things aren't perfect".
I guess we're gonna have a bunch of surprised pikachu faces again when the next Fascist is elected.
Maybe asking someone who actually made that argument would get you a better answer, but sure, I'll give it a go.
Nonsense. The Democratic establishment throws the people a bone when they have to, but they are elitists who serve what they perceive to be the elite class. Every solution they offer, first and foremost, guarantees a massive cash flow into the pockets of Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and the billionaire class. They will never acknowledge that any adversarial relationship exists between working Americans and the ultra wealthy. Every solution caters to power and keeps the proles poor but docile.
The last several decades of Democrats slowly making things better have resulted in most things getting far worse for most Americans. The fundamental problem is the wealthy have been waging a class war, and the Democrats won't even acknowledge it. That is what was behind the massive "Anybody but Bernie" effort in 2020.
We are in a "emperor has no clothes" situation. Lots of Americans have seen through the Democratic finery and the "just not perfect" obfuscations. Generally speaking, those that understand the dynamics behind what they are seeing are the left wing progressives, and those that don't are the far right fascists.
Wherever neoliberalism and technocratic elitism go, fascism is never far behind. We have seen it for over a century,and it's playing out over and over all around the globe. Neoliberals aren't fascists, but they plant the seeds.
The Democrats won't even acknowledge it. The Republicans are leading the other side.
A quote from Bill Clinton, the president most responsible for the dismantling of the Federal welfare system.
That one if from Obama when he chose not to seek prosecutions against the Wall Street criminals who crashed the world economy, thus dooming us to repeat the process. (As if crimes are ever punished in advance.)
Who is leading the opposition again? Democrats are the party of working Americans, or their leadership is the enemy of working Americans. It can't be both.
Corruption in the Democratic party not only is the primary obstacle to a better world, it also makes them politically weak. Their weakness it what gives rise to fascism and allows the Republican party to be the absolute shit party that it is. The enemy of my enemy isn't always my friend.
