I’ve been carrying a tinfoil hat around for a while now - I think big D Democrats like Trump in the same way the Republicans like being the minority party, because it gives them both something to point at while they pick our pockets. Any party that was serious about defeating a fascist threat to the United States would have immediately stopped arms sales to Gaza when constituents polled 20 points in favor of ceasing the genocide in Palestine. Yet again Democrats played to money from Lockheed Martin and Boeing and Raytheon, and told us to hold our noses, and yet again enough voters told the DNC to fuck off by refusing to go to the polls for candidates who wouldn’t represent them, and yet again we ended up with Republicans controlling all three branches of government.
If we even get another election in the states, the Democratic party needs to cease to exist so that a more progressive group can actually represent the people. And I know that sounds fucking insane, but the best case scenario if the Dems are still relevant in 2028 is that the pendulum swings back and they continue to sit with their thumbs up their asses waiting to lose again four to eight years later after once again disrenfranchising their base.
