Im assuming you meant ‘demons’ and I’d argue that this line of reasoning is exactly why we are where we are currently. Republicans make things bad and then Democrats come later and keep them bad. Republicans make things worse and Democrats come in and keep things worse. Nothing ever actually improves and you get to a point where people are so desperate for anything different that they elect Donald fucking Trump to be president. This is the ratchet effect that Democrats enable through inaction due to their stated ideals being diametrically opposed to their actual ideals and the ideals of their wealthy donors. They simply tell you what you want to hear during election season and then disregard you once they take office.
I wouldn’t call having the same shitty, hand-picked type of people forced upon you over and over “democracy.” That’s just the illusion of democracy much like going to the grocery store and seeing shelves full of ‘competing’ products that all turn out to be owned by the same three companies. Things will not change until we break this cycle.
Sounds like a roundabout way of calling him the “lesser evil.” Sounds like the same old party to me.
If all you want is heads on pikes you can say that. If you want democracy you have to work with the demos your have.
