    Those are literally the DNC written platform. It’s on their website in downloadable PDF form. It’s how they have always voted.

      What do you mean that’s how they’ve always voted?

        So as it turns out the entire congressional record including every bill introduced, voted on, passed in either chamber, and signed into law is publicly available.

        Although I could mention about 56 years ago they voted differently, so not “always”.

          So if you’ve looked at that record, you’d see where Democrats have recently voted against taxing the rich, against food assistance, and against keeping dark money out of politics, and you’d see the absurdity of a sweeping claim like “that’s how they’ve always voted”.

          Also you realize there are more Democratic politicians than the ones who serve in Congress, right?

              • Several Democrats side with Republicans on their plan to end the 2025 government shutdown after being cornered on SNAP and ACA funding
              • List of Republican and Democrat politicians that accepted AIPAC money

              There’s tons of instances of Democrats voting for tax cuts for the rich/against tax cuts for everyone else at the state and local levels, so I’m not sure what links you want there

                • Ending a shutdown is not as simple as signing onto every GOP agenda, while it at times has been a mistake, but at the very least the DNC defunded the DHS.

                • The DNC also tried to ban all non-individual spending and cap individual spending in 2003, it was overruled by the SCOTUS’ Citizen United decision in 2007-2010, and part of the core DNC platform is overturning that, which would ban AIPAC funding entirely for both parties.

                The DNC and their platform are progressive.

                  They may talk the talk, but they don’t walk the walk.

                    They walk the walk and then a legion of disingenuous assholes claim otherwise all over the media in a bid to dissuade progressive voters.
