As that one retired general said. We need Nuremberg-style trials. Either the democrats enact them, or the US will fall into republican-controlled dark ages.
I’d say it’s been that way since civilisation came in. Before that, you could leave your back door unlocked and you wouldn’t have to worry. If you had a back door, that is.
Dems haven’t had more than 48 senators in over 13 years, a SCOTUS majority since 1943 at which point they were a completely different party so basically never. Things are bad now because Dems have not been given the power to stop it, because bad actors are out there spreading lies that they’re just as bad.
If you want to tax the rich, remove money from politics, protect democracy and the constitution, stand against slave labour, etc then you need to vote DNC. It’s really that simple.
Decades of vote records are available online to show these really are their stances, and that the GOP opposes every one of these things.
The point is Dems say things but backtrack for reasons to cover their asses.
Seriously, Americans are brainwashed by corporate media. Nobody would conveniently say to primary corporate Democrats with progressives. Because let’s face it, those who don’t are blue MAGA and benefit from corporate greed, because they own company stocks or they don’t want their property value to go down. Electing progressives would be bad for their investments, and would rather see democracy wither instead of their stock’s or that of their properties.
First of all, it’s because they’ve had 48 or less senators for over 13 years.
Secondly,
The Biden Admin created a corporate minimum tax rate and increased audits for the rich, protected pensions and overtime pay, outlawed “junk fees”, and worked to achieve every union demand for rail workers. They also attempted to forgive all student debt, but each attempt was blocked by Republican state Attorney Generals for the duration of his term, so he was only able to forgive 188.8 Billion Dollars of Debt. Biden protected more federal lands than any president in the past century.
Under Obama, the DNC passed Medicaid Expansion which is now relied upon by roughly 70 Million Americans to pay for medical expenses. His FTC also investigated grocery chains for raising prices during the pandemic and keeping them there.
Clinton was responsible for the first US Government Surplus in decades and since.
In 1997 to 2003 the DNC was introducing bills to ban all non-individual spending on campaigns and to limit individual contributions, it passed and until 2007 was in effect, at which point it was dragged into court until the SCOTUS struck it down in 2010 Citizens United decision.
The DNC protected streams and forests while the GOP put a literal fucking Coal Lobbyist in charge of the EPA. This isn’t even a debate, you’re just full of shit.
Making it a crime to fail to vote would end the Republicans permanently. Even if every ballot option had a none of the above. I think it should be mandatory. Also, if none of the above beats all of the candidates, none of them are allowed to run again for any office.

we’ve been in those dark ages since 1917.
We have been in those dark ages since 1492.
We have been in the dark ages since 476.
I’d say it’s been that way since civilisation came in. Before that, you could leave your back door unlocked and you wouldn’t have to worry. If you had a back door, that is.
Good luck. Dems are complicit playing good cop while the Republicans are bad cop in the service of oligarchs.
Primary the corporate Democrats with progressives. If that fails, only then a revolution will truly break the shackles of corrupt oligarchy.

Because the Dems are not even making themselves look electable to anyone but the corporate donors.
This is the current party platform: LINK

Give me an example.
A whole list of why Democrats never get anything done.

You have to go through purple to get from red to blue.
