    The Democrats are not incompetent: 90% of their funding come from billionaires. The same breed that funds Republicans, with a slight different flavor on social issues. They do not want anything to do with the “radical” left of AOC, Bernie and similar

      I’m well aware they’re mostly neolibs, and I used to give them a pass, but these last 9 years or so have really changed my perception of them. They’re feckless liars at best and controlled opposition at worst. As much as I deride the right for letting anyone with the magic R get away with practical murder, I always let the Ds slide. They’re going to have to work a whole lot harder to earn my vote from now on. Words are all but meaningless.
