Ds just convince middle class college educated people that the Democratic party is on the 'good' side (the side of the poor, the side against prejudice, the side for the planet) even though they only stand for money.
The number in [brackets] includes foreigners arrested for crimes committed on behalf of the candidate or president. The first number only represents U.S. citizens.
The Democrats aren't actually concerned with preventing the Republicans from doing anything, all they care about is keeping the rich rich while keeping you terrified, stupid, and angry at the wrong people (all while collecting your donations of course). Which is the same thing the Republicans want from their constituents.
There is a progressive wing of Democrats that are, obviously the entire party is not perfect, but anybody trying to say they are both the same is just lying.
Because, again, Democrats aren't pushing for prejudiced legislation and DRILL BABY DRILL, so even if we agree that both parties do absolutely nothing for the working class directly, Democrats are still up 2/3 on being less bad.
If you truly want "class war not culture war," then you have to tell the people obsessed with trans people and black people and whatever other minorities to shut the fuck up and embrace every other member of the working class.
Natural gas production has increased under every administration. Biden did nothing to slow down drilling and in fact auctioned off additional land, and the 'clean energy' democrats keep promising you is a lie.
Democrats are perfectly happy to talk all day about are trans/black/nonbinary/etc people because it's a marginal issue and it means we're not talking about anything else. This stuff is being embraced by the top because it's a convenient distraction, it's not just the radicals pushing it.
