    Pure cope and denialism, through and through. You need to allow yourself to face reality. I know it’s uncomfortable and scary, I know nobody wants to feel disillusioned and disenfranchised, but it beats being under the illusion that the democratic party are doing everything they can to beat the republicans and deliver a progressive policy platform.

    It is overwhelmingly obvious that mainstream democrats are more focused on fighting their left flank than they are about winning. They would rather lose as centrists than win as a left-leaning party. That’s why they snatched Clinton’s defeat from the jaws of Bernie’s victory, that’s why they constantly cry about Hasan Piker, it’s why they refused to primary a candidate in 2024 and it’s why Kamala advocated for republican policies (harder border, pro-military/military industrial complex, and so on.

    The democrats try to strike a balance between the base of the democratic party (generally progressive people) and the donors of the democratic party (corporations, billionaires, Israel, lobbyists) but when it comes down to a conflict, the party has and always will side with the money.
