Y'all have to let the DNC go. They are never going to do what is right for the people.

It's time for a new party. How many times are we going to watch them fail us before we make a change?

Y'all are like Charlie Brown running up to kick the football right before Lucy pulls it away.

We've seen them fail us time and time again on issues that they absolutely had the power to fix.

This is the party of corporate interests. They don't care about us. They've completely abandoned any platform of universal healthcare, they don't give a flying fuck about the environment, and their border policy is worse than Trump's somehow.

By repeatedly and blindly voting blue no matter who, we are enabling them to never make any changes for the good.

It's absolutely absurd how no one mentioned how regressive Harris's platform actually was.

Zero mention of universal healthcare. She acted like that concept doesn't even exist. America needs healthcare in the worst way. My girlfriend has diabetes and it's so rough to pay for it all.

She also basically sprinted backwards in terms of fighting climate change. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when she was debating with Trump and they were both yelling over each other about who was more pro fracking. Fucking insanity.

Not to mention that her border policy was even harsher than what Trump wanted in his first term. Does anyone else not remember how outraged we all were about the kids in camps being separated from their parents? But when a Democrat does it all of the sudden it's a good thing? Fuck that.

You are misunderstanding how the system is supposed to work.

We have a responsibility to vote, but no candidate is owed a vote.

The government is meant to execute the will of the people. That's why we live in a democracy. That means that the government is supposed to work for you. The politicians are supposed to essentially be public workers that are hired via votes of the citizens.

These public workers are supposed to be a reflection of the will of the people. If they don't match what we want, then they don't win.

No one is owed our votes. They are supposed to earn it.

That's not how this works. It is not a voters duty to vote for a candidate. The voter does not owe a candidate votes.

Giving someone your vote is like giving them your personal political power. That's why the popular vote works.

The responsibility is on the party to put forth appropriate candidates that reflect the will of the people. It is up to them to sell themselves to us, not the other way around.

In a democracy, all power is derived from the will of the people. They work for us. Not the other way around.

It is up to the party to deliver appropriate candidates that will accurately reflect the will of the people.

No one is saying that. It's just blatant corruption in front of the entire country for everyone to see.

This country will never, ever prosecute a president because it would set a precedent of holding our politicians accountable. Ain't happening. We've all been watching Pelosi do insider trading for decades.

I'm very sick and tired of being punished by the DNC for not falling in line.

Like why did they not make Ruth Bader Ginsberg retire before Trump got into office? How could they have not seen that one coming? Everyone saw that happening apparently except for the DNC.

Same with codifying Roe v Wade. They had many opportunities to codify it and then they supply did not. Now it's gone.

Same thing with running the oldest presidential candidate of all time. When people started calling for him to step down, the DNC acted like there was so contingency plan for an 80 candidate.

And then it was the same shit when they ran Harris. She was so unpopular in the last primary that she had to drop out before any votes were cast. Then they just skipped the primary and ran her as the candidate anyways. Then she lost.

The DNC acts absolutely hapless.

Lol we are in agreement about something and you're still mad about it.

That's all I need to know.

Is it that absurd? Sure Trump's campaign is dripping with much more overt hate and racism, but if you think that the party that welcome DICK CHENEY with open arms and paraded him around isn't doing something wrong then I can't help you.

Also the mods removed my comment, so how wrong can I really be?

I think you misunderstood my point because you actually just said what I meant but with more clarity.

Whataboutism at it's finest.

Blame everyone else and don't you dare criticize our perfect party.

Yes. Yes I am.

The Democrats have been ineffectual at best, complicit at worst.

The DNC also actively shuts down all grassroots movements, and any third party. So they don't allow their competitors to exists, and then they do nothing while they're in power.

Am I the only one that remembers what it was like before 2016? Am I the only one noticing the slide away from democracy no matter who is in power?
