It's frankly incredible just how devoted the US Democratic party is to losing. They're so ridiculously ineffectual.

They are a manufactured opposition, and crucial to the success of the fascist coup. Americans should remember that when the civil war starts, and hold them accountable.

Ten years ago I would've called you a conspiracy theorist. Now however, I am in agreement. We need a new party for the working class because both parties are a bunch of filthy traitors.

They are paid to lose thanks to bribery (lobbying) being legal in the USA, go check who are their biggest donors.

Some guy in a young democrats group called me out for being stupid in 2005 when I held the position that lobbying was bullshit.

"Well how do you get your needs met and points heard?"

"Because it's their fucking job and if I have bribe them to do it, the whole system needs to be shut down"

"You just don't even understand what you don't understand"

"I think I understand enough to call it out as bullshit"
