They’re very high on mine. They created the conditions that allowed Trump to take power. They’ve fought tooth and nail to keep everyone who might have been able to prevent this disaster away from the levers of power. The Democrats are the rachet preventing the rest of the country from stopping (or gasp reversing) the Republican-led march to fascism.
They’re active participants in the fascist take over. They normalize fascism and act as controlled opposition to keep those who would oppose it out of power and out of the conversation
If Joe Biden had put Donald Trump behind bars on his first day of office for the January 6 attack we wouldn’t be here right now. Everything good he ever did is irrelevant because he failed to stop the coup
“Hey listen, the wild bear is the one mauling everyone in the school. Blame the bear! Yes, we placed honey in the open door and smeared the children’s faces with fresh salmon, but it’s the bear that is eating the children. Please donate to help me scold the bear.”
Worse still, they seem eager to contribute to it. Just look at all the 2028 hopefuls lining up to validate Republican talking points about immigrants and trans people
I mean, I’m souring on the Democrats because they haven’t fucking done anything to divert us from this disaster.
The Dems are fairly low on my list of the blame game. But they’re still on the list!

Can always count on centrists to gaslight anyone to their left.

The house is burning down. I’m obviously blaming the arsonists, but I’m also lying blame at the firefighters who decided to not do their duty.

I don’t like comparing Trump and co to wild animals, simply because they are so much more malicious.
Hard to argue that. But Trump et al are significantly stupider than bears, so it probably evens out.
Hey remember those bear proof trash cans that turned out to be tourist proof as well? How long do you think it’d take Trump et al to open one?
Does “et al” include a bear?
No, they would not stoop so low as to join him.

When they get the ball, they won’t play offense. When they lose the ball, they won’t play defense.

Well the Overton window has moved so far to the right that the Democrats now sit where the Republican’s did 16 years ago.
And they’re still chasing republicans rightward.
Voters made sure to put them in the minority in all levels of government.
They’ve had a bunch of long talks on the floor of congress.
