They actively oppose change as the planet burns and survival becomes unaffordable
They're supposed to be a counterbalance, instead people have been screaming for change so long that they're being taken in by fascist lies
They've become the party of one step forward two steps back (before the other side gets their turn and full on sprints to gain more ground)
They are a right wing party, and they've decided their latest strategy is to move even further right and give up more ground to capture voters who hate them, and to actively block change that the people are demanding. They see the left as their greatest enemy, they tell their supporters stop bothering them, and even now they want to work with the fascists
Universal healthcare and doing something about housing. Worker protections and standing up to big business. Obstruct Trump and everything he and Elon are doing.
These things have a ton of support across the political "spectrum", but are apparently totally off the table
The Democratic party is opposed to all meaningful change... They lost this election because they offer no hope, milquetoast solutions, and they don't fight back.
Pressuring the voters stopped being a valid point after election day - fascists are in office and their answer is to say "we'll get them next time, stop bugging us"
