Hi everyone, I just found this website and I don't know where else to rant my frustrations about the current Democratic Party. I would absolutely be silenced everywhere else. So hear me out.
Let me just get it out there that I am as progressive as it can get and I disagree with Donald Trump on a lot of issues although I agree with trump on Foreign policy... but I digress. I support REAL policies such as Single Payer Healthcare, Tax funded college, ending the endless wars and foreign entanglements etc you name it I.am as lefty? that you can get. I have no time for their holier than thou, culture war bs.
After seeing the candidates I loved in the Democratic party get snubbed, pushed aside and forced to bow down to the fucking DNC, then proceed to coronate corrupt neocon hacks like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, I am done.
They pretend to care about racial and social justice, yet they nominate someone that wrote the Crime Bill and Kamala Harris who filled the prison system with minorities in California....with mostly non-violent offenders. Militarized the police and the reason why police brutality is rampant, especially on cities and states that are supposed to care about that. Then THEY DARE preach about BLM bs while this mess was their own making and they just deflect rightfully angry people.
They pretend to care about LGBT and Religious minorities as they bow down to Saudi Arabia and continue the senseless wars in the middle east.
They pretend to care about healthcare, but will always take donations from Big Pharma and will at most virtue signal that they care.
They. Are. Hypocrites. They offer no REAL solutions aside from Trump is bad.
I could go on and on and on about this... but I am with you guys this year.
Welcome! Glad to have you here!
I’m glad you were able to see through the Democrats’ phoniness. I hope that eventually you will see how even the policies you cited (ex. Single payor healthcare, tax funded college) are also things that Democrat politicians use to make you think they care about you and your wellbeing, but they really don’t.
As ironic as this may sound, I think Trump has done more things that are objectively progressive than what the Democrats who only virtue signal at best and still beholden to their corporate donors and will only write policy that benefits the donors and not the people. Sure we may have philosophical differences on how those things should be done. But the Democrats have done literally nothing. Nothing at all that is even remotely progressive.
