    I legitimately haven’t seen anyone defend democrats. They’re like the IRS: necessary, but no one likes them.

    What I have seen is “democrats suck!” as a general deflection anytime someone mentions how bad this current administration is, how it could have been prevented, or what we need to do in the future…

      I have seen plenty and Democrats are not like the IRS. They are not necessary at all. They are just one right wing party that should disappear and be taken by an actual left wing party. The fact that you think that they are necessary shows how deep the ingraining of the necessity of a bipartisan oligopoly has run in the populous.

        `The fact that you think that they are necessary shows how deep the ingraining of the necessity of a bipartisan oligopoly has run in the populous.

        This is the crux and can not be overstated.`

      Democrats are only necessary if your goal is to maintain the illusion that America is a democracy which serves the people while maintaining the status quo.

      Democrats are a net negative. What is necessary is something we don’t have and haven’t had, a true leftist party. The lack of that necessary party is what has led us to this current situation.

      The Republicans being bad doesn’t make the Democrats good. Especially when they are complicit.

      What I hear is a lot of complaints and very few ideas of what to do about it. The Democrats can be forced to suck less.

        Then you probably should have done that before the genocide
