Democrats lack power -> Republicans do evil shit -> Democrats can’t stop them -> Blame the Democrats -> Democrats lack power -> Republicans do evil shit ->
On and on and on. If your house was burning down, you’d blame the firefighter, not the arsonist.
You need to stop working off of vibes and think about policy. Off the top of my head:
Obamacare, anti-monopoly regulation, non-compete agreements ban, Russia sanctions + Ukraine support, not ignoring covid, women’s bodily autonomy, CLIMATE CHANGE
But fuck it, you didn’t get ice cream, the total destruction of capitalism, and a blow job on top of that, so now we have AI-enhanced gestapo invading cities. It’s very easy to be the enlightened centrist and say “both sides same” when it clearly isn’t actually impacting your life.
Republicans have power because Republican voters choose to give it to them. The only reason I ever hear for that is that “Democrats don’t do enough”. The only excuse Democrats ever have for not doing enough is that Republicans have power.
By “having power”, I’m not referring to having a 51 majority. One or two corrupt dissidents is common for a political party, so it needs safeguards against no votes. Any “49” party still has a lot of sway as long as they can convince anyone. I’m talking about having 80% power.

It’s more like this:
Funny how republicans always seem to have power to make things worse, but democrats never have enough power to reverse these things.
Almost as if both parties are funded by the same billionaires pushing the same agendas, just in different colors.
You need to stop consuming their propaganda (from both parties).
