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.

    Things I wanted from the democrats (in no particular order):

    1. Stop arming and funding Israel, free Palestine

    2. Forgive all student loans, make college free moving forward

    3. Make abortion and bodily autonomy a right as well as contraception

    4. Free healthcare for all, fuck health insurance companies, if your doctor says you need it then you need it and it is paid for

    5. Legalize and decriminalize weed, pardon everyone ever charged with this drug-related crime (also other drugs too like ketamine, LSD, mushrooms, etc.)

    6. Protect trans rights

    7. Fix the police problem, I don’t know if this can be down without communism but all of them have serious brainworms

    8. Ban short term rentals like Air bnb. We need more houses for people who need homes, fuck, we need communism

    9. Make it easier to get all types of welfare benefits, especially disability benefits which is a fucked up process. Fuck it, let’s have UBI.

    What they gave me:

    Nothing except they made it easier for people already eligible for loan forgiveness to get it. That’s why I voted PSL. Why the fuck would I vote for Kamala? I want actual change.
