    Personally, I don’t care if Trump and conservatives go to jail. It’s not like any of their politics is anything more than imaginary white grievance and 4th Reich. They aren’t a legitimate political party. They’re like one of the few illegitimate political party I can count on my hand and feet.

        One of the parties have people like AOC, and Bernie Sanders. Those with you know, history of fighting for people. The other? Can’t name any one.

          I think democrats, today, do try to govern. Their attempts often feel like they are just going through the motions. It must be hard trying to do your job when you see everything crumbling around you and you have a reality TV show host threatening to tear down everything you’re working on.

          If Biden, today, decided he wanted to extra judiciously “save democracy” the democrats would terminate any moral high ground they ever claimed to have. They would see revolt from outside and from within. Their only choice would to be bring everyone to their heel.

          We know there is no such thing as a benevolent king. If I had to choose between DNC or GOP dictatorship I’d prob go DNC. Except I’ve watched the DNC pretend their morals are superior. I watch it as they crush us all for the sake of decorum. To the DNC we are just a wall dressing while they enjoy all the privilege power affords them. Given absolute power, they abandon trying to do the right thing and dictate to us how capitalism is the only way.

              Then you’re not paying attention. The bills getting passed, the executive orders, and the deals being made are all for your benefit. We can argue about how impactful they are but it’s policy that benefits you that isn’t a slight to others.

                No, I am. It’s why I think they’re doing the bare minimum to say they tried. And the genocide that they’re supporting doesn’t benefit me in any way.

                  This is my exact meaning. We have no conflict.

                  Edit: Please, preach about the genocide in Gaza. Go right ahead, do it here and now. Everyone knows the stakes by this point. Let Gaza be the straw that nosedives america into fascism dejure. The supreme court just enshrined it. The plans are laid. If you can’t stomach Gaza you are definitely not prepared for what comes next.
