    The Democrats are the minority party. They have little power to do anything other than write strongly worded letters.

    The constant attacks on the political opposition to fascism is something the fascists want.

    Really how are the Democrats any different from the Liberal Party of Canada? They’re both equally lame, both have problems with corruption, both have sleazeballs in them. The Democrats are a political party, it’s weird people think they’re going to put on a bandolier and a beret and become guerilla resistance fighters or whatever they’re imagining things will be like.

    But Americans are narcissists that believe themselves to be exceptional so they think the Democrats being kinda lame dorks is different from parties in other countries.

    The problem is when Americans were given a choice between a fascist and a pretty normal political party, 2/3 of them either voted for the fascists or just didn’t bother to vote at all. The American people just didn’t care enough about democracy. It’s likely too late to be expecting the democrats to fix things because they can’t… not enough Americans voted for them.

    Americans are narcissists and they’ll blame anyone other than themselves for everything. Which is why they attack the Democrats instead of doing the obvious thing and attack the GOP and organize resistance to them. But that might include voting for the political opposition which would mean voting democrat which might be admitting they were wrong for not voting for them in the last election. And a narcissist can never admit they’re wrong.

    So the current state of things is Americans are blaming the party that’s not in power for not stopping the party that is in power because their narcissism prevents them from admitting they made a mistake. Will Americans get over their narcissism before the next election and vote for the opposition because their government sucks? That’s what would happen in a nromal country, but they’re obsessed with being exceptional. Will there even be an election? Or will they somehow find a way to blame democrats for Trump cancelling elections, ending any kind of opposition to his power and completing their journey to becoming a full ledged fascist country?

      The Democrats are the same party. The billionaire party just comes in two flavors.

      Wake the fuck up.

          Pleas tell me how they saved Ukraine. Or how they’ve stopped the Israel genocide.

          Oh wait… Yes, inaction makes you an accomplice.
