Also don't forget that the rich oligarchs that control the DNC and the Super PAC money also don't want leftist policies.

Neoliberals have access to the same polling data as the rest of us, they know which policies are popular with their voters, but they choose to not pursue what's popular

The biggest motivation for the DNC has and always will be their rich owners.

Ever since 2016, when Bernie was not the candidate after winning the primaries,

Not true. Bernie lost the DNC nomination by 3 million votes.

Bernie ran a good campaign, and would have been the better candidate, and the DNC put their thumb on the scale for Hillary, but he did not win the primary.

I feel yah man. Shit is ridiculously bleak.

Too late man... Have you seen the comments here? We've got people unironically saying "blue MAGA".

After everything that's happened, they're still pretending both sides are the same. It's pathetic.

Perfect and good aren't even on the table here.

These LGBT+ social issues are one of the wedges that's being used by the wealthy to prevent the rest of us from banding together against them.

Nearly everyone agrees, the ownership class has too much, while the working class has too little. That's the problem of this age that needs to be fixed.

The whole Democratic Party needs to be shouting "Tax The Rich." And coming up with legislation to do so. If I was picking apart that bill for not doing enough, then maybe your accusation would fit.

No one's asking for perfect. We're asking for representation. Pushing any "progressive" legislation while also voting to literally gut the first amendment gets you what? It gets you PR and that's it.

Tankies literally ally with the bad to fight the good. And perfect doesn't exist.

Democrats spent a solid year supporting an ongoing genocide.

You no longer get to pretend to be good.

what else are they supposed to do at this point

Pull from the GOP playbook.

Obstruct everything. Shut down the government. Make unholy stinks on the floor of the House parading around big blown up pictures of dead women and summon mobs of angry constituents into the halls of Congress to yell at people. Tap the Blue State governors and legislatures to push radical pro-women policies, reject federal money whenever it comes with anti-abortion strings attached, and force local businesses to toe the party line if they want to interface with state governments. Make the lives of anti-abortion groups in the state hellish by running strings of investigations that seek to scandalmonger them. Lean on the press to focus on the havoc that these anti-abortion laws are causing. Run Project Veritas operations on those Anti-Abortion front groups that exist to profit off adoption services. Have the police surround and intimidate anti-abortion activist groups, while pro-choice groups are free to block the entrances to buildings, harass staff, and generally make any anti-abortion activist in the state fear for their lives.

Maybe start with voting no on the new censorship bill that just passed with unanimous consent that Trump specifically said he will abuse to silence people.

I mean they have so many options to move in any direction other than their shoulders up in a shrug.

This is how the Democrats communicate their values and intentions. And 30, 40, 100 years ago it would have worked, because the public looked for alternative solutions to problems. Today, the public wants a bully to assertively stand on camera and yell at them. The Democrats don't do that, and it's to their detriment.

But the time for all of this has passed, they're rearranging deck chairs.

but getting mad at them now after you’ve prevented them from doing anything at all just seems petty.

It would seem to be a trend.

Man I have to agree with OP. Do these things like a Dem version of Project 2025. Have an equality agenda when in power and actually make those changes. Fight facism now, because equality doesn't mean shit if everyone in power is facist. They are deporting US Citizens for God's sake.

100%. I'm just pointing out that this is a step up from what they've been normally doing these past 100 days which is sit idly by as our country is being raped and sliding into facism.

Oh I hate them right now don't get me wrong. I'm just happy they're atleast trying to do something instead of being totally complacent as our county dies.
