    They’re not idiotic, they have to pretend to do something opposing the Republicans while they help them transfer all the wealth to the rich and start imperial wars around the world, otherwise normal people might catch on and do something about it.

      This is it exactly. The Democrats are not on your side. They’re neoliberals. They believe in the freedom of money. They are a party for rich people. This isn’t a battle between left and right. It’s a battle between rich and poor.

        Do you think people vote for the perfect party? No. Never have. You vote for the least worse. And understand that you chose from the bad options they gave you so the most good was possible.

        All this bleating about how evil the Dems apparently are when they’ve been hamstrung so long, I just don’t care. It’s a two party system and they’re the least worse.

        If a third party shows up, it has a chance of being good. But we all understand that under FPTP a third lefty party will only split the dem vote and hand a win to the GoP even when it’s fair.
