It’s long been said that the Democratic Party is the place that movements go to die. I have believed it since I started paying attention to politics in the late 80s and it has only gotten worse. Talked myself blue in the face about it for literal decades and was met with denial or the equivalent of people plugging their ears and going “NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH I CAN’T HEEEEEAR YOU!” And here we are today. I hate being proven correct.
Both can be true and both can be bad, like what’s so hard about this concept? One country’s shortcomings do not excuse other countries shortcomings ffs.
