    Democrats aren’t good tho, they literally are the enemy of good. If they weren’t evil they would do literally fucking anything about republicans and capitalists trying to take our rights and go full of fascist. But nope, it’s always “waahhhh gop won’t let us do anything :cccc” while letting republicans do literally anything they want

        they’re literally aiding and abetting a genocide right now as we speak

        they happily enacted legislation penned by the freaking heritage foundation that put a tax on not having health insurance (read: a tax on not purchasing services from a private company while having a human body), and strutted about like it was a win

        not to mention the VP’s track record with trans rights (hint: as AG of Cali she went out of her way to land trans women in men’s prison, against the prevailing policy in Cali at the time)

        'member when Biden campaigned HARD on LGBT rights, and then told us to pipe down and wait our turn when he took office? We’ve not stopped backsliding since the Trump admin on that stuff.

        The Dems are lying to you.

        The Dems and Rs are playing good cop bad cop and always have been. They are very clearly on the same side, and the rest is a show to get willfully clueless and baby-brained people to support them.

          Most of this is speculative, but regardless voting anything but Dem in the United States objectively hurts (potentially )any non-rich person.

          Why are you spreading pro-republican messaging?

            why is your reading comprehension so bad? why are matters of public record “speculative” in your eyes? Why are you defending people complicit in a genocide? at least finish reading before you go twisting my point.

                  Yeah I have time to counter your bullshit but not to engage with it. Not hard to understand, typical third party voter – unable to grasp basic logic

                    please explain the “basic logic” behind claiming to “counter” something you proclaim yourself you didn’t read… you’re acting like a Shapiroite debate-me bro right now and it’s cringe af. All of the ire and nothing to say but “nuh-uh, you’re stoopid!”

            moreover, why do you think dem-enacted policies such as taxing the uninsured doesn’t hurt the working poor?

        So there’s something that renders democrats completely incapable of ever stopping republicans from doing anything? Bc otherwise they’re just liars and collaborators, no other explanation for trying to meet actual fascists in the middle and never doing fuck all to stop them

          It’s always odd to see how the ones that know the least are the ones that are also the most confident… and insufferable

            I’ll take that as a “no, democrats just choose not to ever stop republicans from fucking things up” unless you can explain why they don’t (“republicans won’t let us” isn’t an explanation, unless it’s somehow codified that democrats have to support republicans)

              FYI, it’s no on else’s job to educate you. And that’s not the attitude one learns with

              That said, gets my take: there’s three branches of government. All three have been relatively compromised. To your main question, Congress controls legislation and it’s been compromised because it over-represents a specific demographic (read: mostly white people places with relatively low populations). And well, American whites are a special bunch. The executive branch is compromised in a large part for the same reason - the pres is elected via electoral college which again over-represents white (I mean, wtf is there two Dakotas? We barely need one and they get 4 senators even though only 5 people live in each state).

        Again, can one party stop the other from doing things or not? If republicans can stop democrats from pushing through their legislation, the only reasonable explanation for democrats not doing the same to republicans is that they choose not to
