sorry but I think you’re dead wrong. also, we have more than 2 options. we can choose to support the progressives who the DNC has been actively suppressing. that’s a different conversation though.
supporting the DNC only happens when they start supporting The People. I’m old enough to have personally observed just how the national Democratic party operates and how corrupt, ineffectual, and apathetic they are when regular working class Americans need lasting structural changes. all the programs and progress they made has been undone with a half dozen supreme court nominations and a wave of a pen executive order.
they don’t take adequate action and don’t break rules to achieve goals, because they fundamentally misunderstand that sometimes obeying the rules (even in a democracy) is morally wrong. in a society rapidly spiraling towards fascism, they fail to recognize that “trust the system” actually means “just follow orders” and that’s a very bad very dangerous thing.
it’s not a group worthy of my support, not until they do better.
relevant links if you’re at all interested in understanding my perspective better (or just follow my comments):
There actually are ‘vote blue no matter who’ people? How’s ol’ Chucky Schumer workin’ out? Or Fetterman? Pelosi gonna come riding in on first light of the fifth day with the Rohirrim in tow? Jesus, this is just fucking sad. 40+ years of the Dems just idly allowing the repubs to shit all over everything, and your solution is to support them harder?
What’s the color of the sky where you live? Are they accepting American refugees?
Chuck Schumer felt that he had to vote yes to continue operating the government even though REPUBLICANS wrote a bill that PUSHES US TOWARDS AUTHORITARIANISM.
I don’t like Chuck Schumer but he is better than 100% of Republicans and this vote only occurred because of Republicans.
You’ve displayed complete ignorance of policy stances and vote histories in the US Congress. Even if you did think Schumer was a right of center goon, he’s absolutely incomparable with a Republican.
Even if every single representative was another Chuck Schumer, this kind of bill would never come to pass without at least 41 Republicans, 50 if reconciliation were an option.
Now, Chuck Schumer should be primaried. But if Chuck Schumer wins that Primary, then people in his district better be smart enough to vote for him, because at that point their won’t be any better options.

Lmao, a whole digit percentage of people picked option 3 last time and got option 1, the worst option as a result.
If you want reform then vote blue no matter who. It is the only way out of this mess.

Schumer is a Republican. Actions vs words. The bill only passed because the golden children of the DNC voted to pass it.

I can see now I’ve been speaking with the common clay of the new West. My bad.
