They're all happy to gaslight themselves into thinking that they're the virtuous side, just like MAGA.

Meanwhile tens of millions of Americans are working three jobs at 100 hours a week just to be able to rent a roach-infested studio, which in the minds of Democrats, is apparently a-okay because they did nothing meaningful about it.

Also, everything you're seeing now, from normalized police brutality, to ICE raids, to black torture sites, to government-sponsored abductions ("extraordinary renditions"), to unilateral presidential warmaking... was all also done and supported by Democrats. Obama even killed an American with a drone strike. And, for more fun, go look up which president it was that appointed Tom Homan.

The only difference is one side gives nicer speeches.

    Then cry and abstain from voting or vote 3rd party and see what it gets us.

    Oh wait, it's already fucking happening.

    When I was younger the Dems fought a protracted battle to get me affordable healthcare, with the Republicans trying to block it at every turn. The result is I got affordable healthcare when I had NONE before.

    You should do yourself a favor and educate yourself. Look up how our economy fairs under Dems compared to Repubs. Look up both party's voting history and find out which one actually regularly votes in favor of the middle and lower classes. Look up their criminal conviction histories.

    If you educated yourself you'd find out that one party is INFINITELY better for us than the other and if we actually got off our fucking asses and primaried the Dems that weren't onboard with what we want, they'd become even better for us.

    Instead you're crying on the internet and trying to get people to give up.

    You are part of the problem.

    No. They pretended to, and then when the cost of health care rose to where it was unaffordable they shrugged their shoulders and left you and others to die in ER's. The 'access' Dems like to talk about disappears if you can't pony up for some health care CEO's superyacht.

    You should do yourself a favor and educate yourself.

    You should stop making excuses. The last six months under Donald Trump have proven that every time you pretended Democrats were powerless, you were wrong.

    You are part of the problem.

    No, you're the problem, because Democrats cannot fail badly enough to get you to change.
