The left in America graduated from non-existant to a force worthy of concessions after 4 years of Obama.
There's a reframing of history if I ever saw one. The left got no concessions during the entirety of Obama's term, Obama put the left to sleep, and got away with shit no republican could ever dream of. The choice between Hillary and Trump woke the left up again, and the entirety of Trumps term have seen the left picking battles again. Over the last 4 years we've seen an influx of libs radicalised to move left. Hell the courts just last week decided that the massive warrantless surveillance program was illegal, Bush needed a war to start that thing, while Obama could keep it going effortlessly during his entire term, and not a single thing was done about it from the left.
If the democrats get in office again, the news will stop reporting on the horrible shit the administration does, the libs will pretend nothings really wrong and everyone will go back to sleep. You are failling for the elites usual argument that "<current republican president> is a monster the likes of which history has never seen", when reality is that all presidents have been fucking horrible. They pull this shit every term, and has done so since before Reagan, and it's frankly depressing that more leftist aren't getting wise to the grift.
Occupy wallstreet was a cry from help from an entire generation and it that was a resounding failure, it achieved nothing, democrats co-opted it and led a nationally coordinated crackdown while the left just took it.
If you’re seriously arguing that a dem president wouldn’t represent a significantly reduced existential risk then I don’t know what to say.
Trump and the republicans only passed 1 bill before democrats took the house it was a 1 trillion dollar tax give away to the rich. This pales in comparison to what democrats have given Trump in the last 2 years, they've voted for his trade deals, expanded his military budget including giving him a fucking space force so we can now militarize space, passed his budgets including the wall, gave $4.5 trillion to the richest 0.1% with the cares act while screwing workers during a pandemic directly leading to the eviction crisis today and riots in the streets, and finally they funded his federal agents to snatch people off those same streets.
Dem's can do this shit because a large part of the left still think that "they are on the same side" despite selling out working people at every turn and rubber stamping authoritarianism. Clinton and Obama have both gotten away with monstrous acts that are directly responsible for the situation today, which no republican would ever have be allow to. Dem's are not an opposition party, they are controlled opposition, both parties answer to the donor class, the only choice you get is if you want your authoritarian state with a rainbow flag or public displays of racism and hate.
Yet here you still are arguing that they have any interest in "harm reduction" while their candidate argues against providing people healtcare during a pandemic, argues for fracking during what is clearly a climate apocalypse, and picks a cop as his VP while saying they should "shoot protestors in the legs" when the population is screaming for justice.
This is not a real political party, It is pure political theater. nothing more.
