I'm going to assume you are arguing in good faith. Around 2016 I would have been in your shoes. I was a Dem and a "true believer". I used to work for the party, literally paid to harass old people to get them to come to a field office to make calls for, 🤮🤢, Hillary.

I used to be you, but then I saw "my" party continue to either cast shitty votes or make excuse after excuse for why they can't ever play hardball like the Republicans do. Thanks to their incompetence or Malice (prob depends on who we're talking about) I looked for alternatives, found the "real" left and now I'm here.
