In Trump's latest Truth Social post, he shares a disgusting video depicting a golden statue of himself, a sky scraper with his name on it, a superyacht on the Gaza coast, him holding hands with a female entertainer in a night club wearing a see-through gown, him & Netanyahu shirtless together sipping alcohol on the Gaza coast with a sign that says "Trump Gaza," and money raining down with kids jumping up to grab it.

All the signs of what many would call the antichrist, yet the religious-right is convinced he's their savior. He wants to turn Gaza into a Las Vegas style resort with his name plastered everywhere.

They are responsible for so much more than that, including making and passing good policies the public likes and is excited about.

I implore you to lookup the voting history of the Democrat party. And the bills they've successfully introduced and passed. If you do, you will come to understand that between them and Republicans, they are absolutely the side to go to bat for the middle/lower classes. This isn't up for debate. It is fact. Voting records don't lie.

You're argument is that the Dems could do more. No duh. Everyone agrees on that. My argument is that if Americans followed through on their responsibility to inform themselves, then there would be no reality in which any average American would vote Republican over Democrat, because Democrats are THAT much better of an option for governing, and that is backed up by an avalanche of facts. So I'm saying the fault primarily lies with the American voter, while you're implying it lies with the Democrat party.

If you do, you will come to understand that between them and Republicans, they are absolutely the side to go to bat for the middle/lower classes

I never disagreed about this. This is true, Dems are better than Republicans on most policies. The whataboutism Dems always employ when asked to he accountable is pretty gross.

No, I didn't say that either - read my initial post again. I said that your sentiment is fine when talking about personal responsibility, but that the Dems also deserve criticism for their part, because it's LITERALLY their job to earn votes and they FAILED. Against a foreign hostile country taking over. There's absolutely no excuse or forgiveness from me there. Yes, the American public should've done whatever, but perhaps if they'd had FOOD, HOUSING, and TIME OFF (we've been asking for voting day to be a national holiday for years!!!!!) - we work more than peasants in feudalism. And you are mad we don't have MORE time in between second and third jobs to fucking study political science? Maybe the Dems should've governed better so our votes were protected, or campaigned for approval choice voting so third party can't strip their votes away. But no, they are wittle babies, we can't expect them to do their jobs, right? To stop a hostile coup of our government by literal human traffickers
