      No, my friend, you’re wrong. The Washington Democrats do make it worse. They (most of them) are willing participants in making life worse for the average American, and they know it, and they don’t care.

        Well we know it. A few dinos are collaborating for power trips. I recall a few ruining quite a few plans.

      twenty years ago people gave the Dems a super-majority; they used it to lock in the fascist policies of the Bush admin and give a massive hand out the wealthy.

        911 kind of destroy any semblance of reason in the country. Everyone was angry. Tried to talk reason? Just look at Dixie chicks and boondocks version of MLK.

          That’s your excuse? Seriously?

          “Shame people didn’t vote Dem 20 years ago, the gop wouldn’t be around!”

          “They did”

          “Yeah, but 9/11 had happened only a decade earlier”

            excuse? Hope maybe but now I doubt it with young boys being Tate trolls.

            Naa country hadn’t healed yet for 10 years after. Now? I dont think 911 is a factor but nation has other issues made apparent by Trump.

              So why did you say "Soooo Dems won’t make it better but least won’t make it worse. If 2 party then easy choice.

              Shame people didnt do this 20 years ago and voted gop out of existence."?

                Cause people keep hating on dems instead of seeing dems for what they are. Opportunists Lesser evils than also need to be removed. But GOP is worst they need to go first. We need Truce with dems until gop is gone. then let’s go tear them apart. But people keep getting angry and shocked at dems bs and then refuse to vote and let gop win. Which is arguably worst outcome.

                At least vote third party people!

                    that’s everyone frustration. Dems betraying progressives. Its like dealing with loki vs Thanos. Have to use the dnc to maintain status quo so we can promote progressives in meantime. Gop will just push further right and ruin gains.

      The problem with having 365 million people or so in a sick society that encouraged and rewards destroying each other is that things get worse automatically.

      Dems doing nothing makes things worse. Reps doing nothing makes things worse. Its a prisoners dilemma where the only winning move is to kill the cops and hope for the best.

      If al gore won we’d have still invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, it would just be in bush jrs first term in 2004 that we invade Iraq.
