We have three mainstream parties. Works with that too.

The supposed democracy advocates within the democratic party continue to refuse to fix the First-past-the-post voting system.

Dont worry, you can count on them to point out all the flaws of the voting system during the midterm while doing nothing to fix it before or afterwards.

Trump was inevitable under such conditions. If you capture one (or more) political parties in a two party system, clearly you can undo every single check and balance. Wake up blue MAGA, your continued use of the FPTP crutch is a national security threat and will cause the nation to crumble.

Was it worth it keeping those safe blue states? Was it worth the easy elections against the worst of us all?

America last, party over country at all costs.

Hey OP, you wanna go ahead and go to any neighborhood that's been raided by ICE and tell them how the Dems are exactly just as bad as the GOP?

Hell, go tell a bunch of drag queens and trans people.

While you're at it, go find some under aged girls who've been impregnated by adult men and tell them the Dems are just as bad as the GOP.

I'm sure it'll resonate with all of them /s

I'll tell you.

This shit was already happening. Yes, it's taken another step under Trump, but the incrementalism occurred with Democratic fascists as well. What Trump is able to do now would be impossible if Democrats hadn't seized on the illegal powers dreamed up by Clinton and Dubya and ran with them.

Clinton, while fucking his interns, invented 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' and did nothing about persecution of gay people, and in fact, he was the one who signed DOMA. He invented "peacekeeping actions" so he could make war without calling it that, and he did just that. He cut the social safety net wholesale, making Americans poorer, and doubled down on poverty with his 'free trade' policies that helped usher in the era of companies moving offshore and killing US jobs. Oh, and he was a regular on Epstein's island and the Lolita Express.

Obama let police run roughshod in Ferguson and New York City, brutalizing victims of police violence and people who lost their homes and decided to participate in Occupy. He appointed Tom Homan and put kids in cages. He made torture explicitly extra-legal. He walked into Flint and performatively drank a glass of water. He dropped 26,000 bombs in the last year of his presidency and left office with American wars brewing in seven countries. We also learned under Obama that police departments in the US have black sites and his presidency was ~~kidnapping~~ renditioning people to black sites in foreign countries. He also ordered drone bombings that killed American citizens.

We knew Biden was going to be shit when, in a time people wanted federal police reform, he mocked the change people wanted in his State of the Union address by calling for greater police militarization, and his presidency gave rise to 'cop cities'. Even worse, it's now possible for cops to hang out in a school that's getting shot up, on camera, with zero consequences. After January 6 he did nothing meaningful to slow the evident rise of domestic fascism, showing a greater interest in keeping his scumbag son out of prison. He deported undocumented immigrants by the millions and continued the policy of caging kids. Biden earned the moniker 'Genocide Joe' for aiding and abetting the genocide in Israel, even when Israel escalated it into a manufactured famine, which is a war crime. Then he ran for president knowing he had dementia, paving the way for Trump's second term, prioritizing his own ego over the country's well-being.

This isn't a 'Democrats are better' scenario. Most people just haven't really paid attention to what Democrats do or have the short-term memory of a goldfish.

And before you try to argue they were powerless, consider that all three of these men had the presidency and control of Congress, just like Trump. They had all the power they needed to make real change. They just didn't care.

Obama Leaves Office As 'Deporter-In-Chief'

Democrats tried so fucking hard to outflank the Republicans from the Right for eight long years. But as soon as they lost, its those damned leftists at fault for not voting harder.

Hell, go tell a bunch of drag queens and trans people.

I've got a trans friend who has more rotten things to say about Joe Biden than your eardrums can handle.

Sure, which victim of Clinton's should we start with?

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Hey hypocrite.
Want to tell all the deported and kids in cages under Genocide Joe how that was much better?
Or that bombing brown people everywhere in the world, droning weddings or aiding genocide of Palestinians is better bcs it's under those Dems who have those famous 'democratic values' they're always crying about?
Just say it like it is, libs only care about themselves.
You all didn't give a fuck about what you did to the world since forever.
And you probably also don't give a fuck about trans people either.
The problem is now the fascism you supported has come home, and the libs don't like the taste of their own medicine.
That's ALL that bothering you.

Enjoy your karma, hope you get a lot of it.

With democrats at the (wheel?). Its the same trolley, the same track and the same people on it.

But they mostly abide by a legal speed limit and in general go much slower.

Sometimes they get to a full stopt and get out to clear some people manually to get back going.

The gop sees this and cries out that these slow speed limits are the problem. Go fast, get there quicker.

Neither party wants to talk seriously about where we’re going.

Neither wants to stop.

This thread is being targeted by a lot of no-content "correct the record" fediverse accounts, upvoting pro-genocide US democratic party and Israeli talking points. Please report them so we can ban them ASAP.

Thank you to all the posters below doing great work debunking them.
