One party deserves criticism for being insufficient. One party deserves nothing but scorn and opposition.

Obama being a proponent of universal healthcare back in 2008, Biden a supporter of the Green New Deal, and Newsom part of a push for universal healthcare in Cali?
I don't mean to say that any of this is enough. I don't mean to say that the Dems aren't dragging their fucking feet and 10 years too late on every goddamn issue; I'm not saying that the system is working or that we don't need a new system.
But anyone who says that the two parties are the same or indistinguishable in terms of results or ideals is selling a crock of fascist-flavored shit. Apathy and non-participation benefits conservatives.
You're screaming into the void here on Lemmy. All we have are tankies and teenagers that want Amazon two-day shipping on their "Revolution^TM^" and are throwing a crying temper tantrum that the majority of the American public don't agree with them.
So they bitch about the Dems who are the only ones actually trying to solve the problem for not doing it fast enough while they themselves do literally nothing to solve any actual problems and giving the Republicans, the party that is actually causing all the problems, a complete free pass.
The tankies are the toddler throwing a tantrum on the floor of a toy store. The Dems are their mom who isn't buying them the Xbox game they want and the Republicans are the store owners hiking up the price of the game to make it unaffordable to all but the extremely wealthy. Their little baby brains can only think to whine and cry and blame their mom because they have no understanding of the reality behind, well.. anything really.
Thank you for your response. I don't typically post comments on any social media because I feel it is not worth it. There is a movement growing in the USA rn, and most people on Social Media are not actively being a part of it. We can end the things that have happened. It will take time.
I've been starting to suspect that they give MAGA a free pass because MAGA is just too powerful and scary for them.
Take on the Democrats, you get tons of sweet internet clout. Take on MAGA, you might disappear and end up in a prison in El Salvador.
Why put all that risk into punching up, when you can punch horizontally and still pretend you're a revolutionary.
This is very refreshing to read.
You're trying to talk sense to people of an extremist 'comply or die' style ideology here. Proper leftists have empathy enough for the well-being of their fellow humans and the planet we live on to recognize that simply burning everything to the ground benefits nobody. What we have in this place for the most part are keyboard commandos who wouldn't have the first clue what to do in the event of a full societical collapse.
