Obama and Biden said they'd legalize weed. They didn't. They failed to put abortion rights into the constitution. I mean I can go on these are just off the top of my head.

They are not immune to legit criticism, however it seems like people get the idea that if you criticize democrats that means you are a die hard Trumper or something...

Didn’t close gitmo. Didn’t end the war on terror. Created the same border camps democrats cry at the gates of for political points. Bailed out the perpetrators of one of this countries most high profile and damaging financial crimes because they held rich peoples stock portfolios hostage. Made pointless concessions on the ACA to republicans who never once cross the isle for even the things they want to pass because they’d rather take the credit themselves.

Those are the ones I’m pulling off the top of my head.

I don't care about any of the two political parties. I just vote based on who sounds the least insane, greedy, fake, and qualified for the job. And maybe someone who doesn't suck billionaire toe and can tax the rich.

Have you thought about voting for the socialist candidate on the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL)?

Umm... Even us on .world agree that Dems are controlled opposition and useless if we want any actual change.

Depends, is it an article about Trump? Democrats are saints who can't fail, only be failed.

Is it an article about Democrats doing nothing that hasn't been removed by the mods yet? You'll probably not be downvoted for saying "Biden should have done more of his promises and getting Trump arrested should have been the priority."

Can you criticize Israel here or is it full of pro genecide bots trying to run a narrative?

The Zionist Regime must fall. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. Organize in your community to raise awareness of your country's complicity (e.g. weapons manufacture, university/college affiliations) and organize in your workplace to use your power as a worker to sabotage the conflict, especially if you are in ports or manufacture.

Well everybody already knows that. Like.. The power dynamics of "vote lesser evil, vote for minority candidate, vote for a compromising pseudo-progressive party because it's still something, abstain and stay pure, better face true fascists than traitors, etc." has been around since representative regimes emerged. Yet everyone has to find his/her political and moral stance in this shitshow. And answers will differ, sometimes for legitimate reasons, sometimes because of total bs. That's all there is to it and it's not exactly news.
