    Republicans break shit, moderate Dems neglect to fix it.

    For generations we’ve had a steady march to the right because of that system.

    And considering the same people/corporations donate to both parties, it doesn’t seem overly cynical to say ourmodern political system is working exactly as the wealthy designed it to work.

      Moderate Dems get elected because this country isn’t progressive. We collectively want these things to happen, which is why they do.

        Progressive policy is popular regardless of labels or even parties.

        Even in 2020 most Americans wanted single payer healthcare.

        But because trump ran as a Republican, that meant the Dem candidate couldn’t want to fix healthcare, for some reason is till don’t understand.

        We collectively want healthcare to be improved, but the people who donate to both parties don’t, which is why it doesn’t happen.

          Either our government is representative of its people and they don’t really want those things, or it’s not representative of its people and needs destroyed. See the Declaration of Independence for more information.

      If voting didn’t work, the GOP wouldn’t be trying to prevent people from voting.

      If you don’t like the Dem candidates in your area, you can contribute to AOC or Omar.
