I want you to remember while all this clown show is going down that they managed to make their party less palatable than Donald. Fucking. Trump.

They could have won so easily. They could have absolutely swept it. It would have been a cakewalk for them to stop funding genocide. That’s all it would have taken.

Now imagine if they did that AND properly cancelled student loan debt like they promised.

Imagine if they had taken the threat of the Republican party seriously instead of reaching across they isle

Imagine if they had stopped abortion bans and secured woman’s autonomy.

Imagine if they had cracked down on landlords and rent prices. Sure rich people would complain but that’s easily combated by paying for advertising showing renters being like “this is great I can actually afford to live now.”

Imagine if they had cut out the stupid means testing red tape crap and actually funded poor people instead of wars to get them in homes, off the streets and gasp spending money in the economy? You could have easily sold it to small businesses as “Hey we’re going to give poor people money, where do you think they’re going to spend it? At your business, idiot.”

Even something simple like capping fuel prices at a reasonable rate would have absolutely destroyed any bad blood between voters and the Dems

They could have had the easiest victory, but they didn’t have the spine to betray their wealthy donors. They never intended to win and might as well be an arm of the Republican party. It has to be on purpose.

    Because, after all, we must resign ourselves to the inevitable and say to ourselves, once and for all, that the bourgeoisie is condemned to become every day more snarling, more openly ferocious, more shameless, more summarily barbarous; that it is an implacable law that every decadent class finds itself turned into a receptacle into which there flow all the dirty waters of history; that it is a universal law that before it disappears, every class must first disgrace itself completely, on all fronts, and that it is with their heads buried in the dunghill that dying societies utter their swan songs.
