agreed and to that same token the cuts to education and science spending are not just backwards Republicans talking away money from social systems.

they’re defunding them because they are a threat to their power

You can label me with whatever epithet you want, but the reality is that voting Democrat was the correct choice to minimize damage. Is that where it ends? No. Should the Democrats be raked over the coals for their current and past inaction? Absolutely.

The reality is, if anyone who is upset with the Democrats truly wanted change, they would understand that change is slow. “Teaching the party a lesson” has historically only resulted in a shift to the right. Direct action is the only thing that works. But while that effort continues, I’d certainly prefer if the checks and balances of the government weren’t being actively weakened and exploited.

if a third party was possible under current electoral governance the green party would absolutely not be better

I mean didn’t Trump also promise that and not deliver

What I constantly hear is deflections about how voting doesn’t matter, but it fucking does, yes the Democrats suck but they are better, it’s not even close.

Fight back and do everything you can to change what’s going on and blame Democrats but don’t sell out an entire election cycle to literal Satan to make that point

all that does is irreversible damage

I hate to break it to you but I’ve definitely heard that on Lemmy a few times
