      One of the only comments here to have any actual suggestions, and it’s “use harsh language.” Even then, though, do you want them to use harsh language sparingly or until they get thrown out of congress in session?

    We want to stand up to Trump’s stock manipulation: but Nacy Pelosi keeps blocking bills making congressional insider trading illegal.

    We want to stand up to Trump’s support for multiple genocidal dictators, but Chuck Schumer keeps pushing for more weapons to Israel.

    We want to make majauana legal, but Kamala Harris keeps touting how she had sent majauana users to jail.

    In short, we want democratic leaders who stand for democratic values or at least who don’t actively push policies counter to them.

    Right right that’s true, we should focus on the future. But if you’re too blind to realize that most Washington Democrats are never going to help make things better, you need to look at the past more.

    We got where we are for many reasons, which definitely include the actions of Democratic president and congresspeople over the last three decades. Those people brought us where we are, with Republican help of course, so we would be fools to expect any better from them going forward.

    As a side note, I recently learned about what a giant piece of shit Jake Tapper is regarding his advocacy for Israel’s genocide as part of pretending to be a journalist. I don’t watch CNN, but for some reason I had the impression he was a commentator with some amount of integrity.

      Have you considered listening to what Bernie Sanders suggests, instead? Because his plan is not abandoning the dems in the slightest, though he does support if an established dem switches to independent.

    A little bit late. We now have a one-party dictatorship, which will one day collapse on its own. But not in this decade.

    Kinda like the world wants Americans to do. But alas, they aren’t and don’t seem likely to.

    Edit: and everyone just makes excuses and flagellates. Other countries protests over divesting from Israel or retirement age dwarf your reaction to fucking fascism, authoritarianism, and hate. Half a million in one European country show how complicit the country of “freedom” is.

    Go fuck yourselves. Your problems are greater than the excuses you slap back at the world you are fucking over with greed and apathy.

    You are culture of juvenile greed and hate.
