    I’m not a BoTh SiDeS but seriously, at the very least, do your jobs.

    The Democratic Party has a reputation for being disorganized. However, it seems like they’re well coordinated in being incredibly ineffective as an opposition to Republicans. From the unprincipled party leadership, to the feckless elected officials, to the voters that never hold them to account, they’re impressively bad at politics.

      to the voters that never hold them to account

      How many of these lawmakers even had primary challengers last time they ran?

        Yeah. Incumbents often run unopposed for their party. And sometimes even completely. Even good politicians should fend off primary challenges. It helps keep them focused on serving who the power belongs to lest it be taken from them.

      As Will Rogers once stated

      I’m not a member of an organized political party. I’m a Democrat.

      Honestly, it feels like it’s all by design.

      The establishment dems are saying “you’ll vote for our chosen moderately conservative dem of our choice, or you’ll get trump or whoever the Republicans put up”.

      They do this on purpose, because they have money and don’t suffer the consequences that the poors do. They don’t care. Some even probably quietly made money on trumps tarriff stock market fiasco.

      They pushed out bernie. They don’t like this new Mamdani guy as he’s a bernie-like democratic socialist.
