    Which is why people need to keep on being reminded that the Dems are not the saviours they present themselves to be. They are just the other side of the same coin the republicans are. And they are all in the business of keeping themselves fat, and the voters at each others throats.

    Fingers crossed, that Mamdani is the start of a stream of actual progressives in politics. America is in desperate need of something, anything, to spark some change that gets its out of being right wing vs right wing.

      no one thinks they’re the saviors. **But they aren’t the fascists. **

      they are definitely, starkly different from the Republicans - you don’t recognize any differences?

      People need to keep being reminded that staying home or voting for jackasses like jill Stein, leads to the Republican Party winning.

        Do I see a difference between MAGA and Dems or Republicans and Dems? If we are talking about MAGA, yes, I see the difference. If we are talking about your run of the mill Republican… lol Fuck no!!! They are different sides of the same corrupt coin. And, Im sorry, but if you dont see that, you are either dumb as all fuck, or just woefully informed.

        Take away trans issues, womens reproductive rights, and they are basically the same thing. Corrupt politicians that look after the part and their rich donors first, and never look after the people.

        The most glaring example of this is the last three elections. In the previous 2 elections, America had free healthcare on the platform. It was going to happen 100%. But the Dems, not once, but twice(maybe three times) fucked it. Bernie had the momentum in 2016 to beat Trump. Even Republicans said they would vote for him. The DNC fucked him over. There went free healthcare the first time. In 2020, every single person up for the Nom, had a free healthcare plan. All but one. And once again, the DNC and Dems told each and every one of them to take a walk, because in their view, Biden was the only one who could defeat Trump. The fact he was the only one who didnt have a free healthcare plan is just a coincidence… By the way, Harris, was one of those up for the Nom in 2020 that had a free healthcare plan very similar to Bernies. Funny how when she got the Nom in 2024, that was all of sudden gone, huh?

        And just last year, AOC, arguably the future of the Democratic Party, got fucked hard by Nancy Pelosi out of a committee seat that would have seen her take big fucking step towards making a run in 2028. Why? Because AOC wont bent the knee to the corrupt party leaders or their rich donors. So instead of a 35 year old women in her prime, they forced in a 75 year old man with cancer instead. And worse than that? He fucking died 4 months later, and they STILL wont allow her to take the seat.

        People need something to vote for. And “We have to stop the Republicans from winning” isnt enough. Fuck that horse shit. Stop putting the blame on the people for being done with all the corruption. But it on the Dems and the Republicans for being corrupt. STOP BLAMING THE VICTIMS!!!

        Downvoting facts… You people are fucked. All the way fucked. Enjoy your MAGA hellscape because you couldnt see past the cock dangling from your own forehead.
