    So according to this there is absolutely nothing the Dems can do right now that would make you happy.

      Cleansing itself from corporate corruption and zionism would be a good start.

      You seem surprised that this is how losing trust works. If people don’t trust you will keep your promises, then it doesn’t matter what you promise them.

      That being said, there are thing they can do that are not just virtue signalling.

        Democrats cry minimum wage increase if they win.

        Democrats cry legalized weed if they win.

        Democrats cry codified Roe v Wade if they win.

        Democrats cry ending the border wall if they win.

        And then don’t do it when they win. And then get mad that people notice they got swindled.

        Republicans sell lies and promise torture, and they deliver that. Lies and torture.

      Drop all support for Iran war, pivot fundraising mechanisms away from Israeli influence, use bully pulpits and media to keep Epstein in the news cycle, direct more national funds to local DSA candidates, rotate gerontocracy out of party leadership, etc…

      I don’t really mind them doing stuff like this too, though.

        At least Republicans are honest in his much they hate citizens at home and abroad. They don’t mask their true intentions of the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer, and enabling fascists.

        Democrats say they care until they get elected then say they need to work with the Republicans, then go hang out with them as they vote no on any bills that would inspire confirmce in the party or even system as a whole.

        And then their brainwashed fans get mad when you can notice patterns of intentional failure across every single election. Because losing elections to Republicans makes them more money. Winning elections just allows them to vaguely stop some things but never actually make meaningful change.

      They could stop being Republicans in blue. But that wouldn’t allow them to have more money, so they never will.

      Let me know when they fill any campaign promises from 2016.

      First day here?

      Most people here it seems would rather be worse off so they can continue to bitch endlessly than have anything good happen.

      Probably why half tell you voting is useless too even as primaries happen and Zoran is already in office doing things they should like.

      That notwithstanding I’d like to see polling on the matter. Right or wrong I would suspect a majority would be against such a drastic increase making this a loser of an issue.

        Maybe if the Dems actually die something good in power we’d be happier.

        Edit: sarcasm hasn’t been active for months and is just for this, while .world is currently using alt accounts to slander instances and bridge communities. Curious…
