    Democrats don’t have to be perfect to win, no candidate does. What they need to do is swear to protect elites in order to get that sweet campaign donation money.

    No $ = no advertising = no chance of office.

    Republicans are just more likely to push candidates who will promise this openly.

    Everything else (read: “do you rape little girls?”) comes second. It’s partly why it feels like the rich keep winning without a hitch dispite and apparently gridlocked Congress.

      Yes, but that doesn’t change that in the United States a Democrat could literally be perfect and still lose, while clearly, a Republican can be an actual felon, rapist, pedophile and still win.

      Whether money is in the equation or not, this is still a true statement and a damning condemnation of our sick society.

          You are a dipshit.

          This is a class war and Democrats are not allies anymore than Republicans

          If you were intelligent, you’d look up both party’s voting history and criminal conviction history to find out this simply isn’t true. While clearly there should be class war, that doesn’t mean that one party isn’t SIGNIFICANTLY better than the other and it doesn’t change that we’d be FAR better off with them in control than who is about to take control. Your brain just doesn’t allow you to take multiple things into consideration at the same time.

          Maybe with some more education you can expand your brain’s ability to think about more than one thing at a time.

            Voting for Democrats got us here as much as voting Republicans

            The only people still larping Democrats are people who enjoy left right circle jerk.

            DNC sabotage every election for the benefit of their doners yet we got clown larping it anyway

            Lesser of two evils, vote for my guy, trust me bro 🤡

              So you’re telling me you like whining but haven’t done your due diligence and looked up the voting history and criminal conviction history of both parties?

              Color me surprised.

              One day you’ll grow up and learn that the two parties exist and are your only two options because they have existed long enough and gained enough popularity and resources and no other 3rd party has or will anytime in the near future. So these are your two options and I’m telling you, because you don’t have the education on the subject to tell me, that the Democrats vote in favor of the middle/lower classes infinitely more often than the Republicans do and have far less convicted criminals who have served in their ranks.

              So you can continue whining about things you know very little about, regarding a situation that you cannot and will not change from its current two party condition anytime soon, and probably not in your lifetime. Or you can do your homework and vote for the clearly better option while holding out hope that a class war can accelerate and fix things.

              With your attitude, I’m assuming you either neglected to vote or wasted your vote on a 3rd party, making Donald Trump our president. Let me know how that works out for you.
