I swear Biden acts more and more like trump every fucking day.

It's like Brewster's millions or some shit, he's going to fuck around, depress turnout, and hand trump the election again.

And there's not a damn thing we can do about it because the DNC made their choice

biden, the dnc are conservatives. they are the conservative party of today.

we have fascists, conservatives, and progressives. the progressives are kept back in a little closet to keep them from making to much noise.

Progressives get pulled out of the closet every election season to get fucked up over how they either potentially sabotaged the Democrats or actually did, regardless that's it always false.

I'd actually say the blame rests with the Democrats in power as a whole (and extends from our broken electoral system). The DNC is still running primaries, it's just that the only challengers are no names so there's no debates and no real chance of an alternative. Big name progressives (or even normie Dems who don't believe in performative cruelty at the border) are all too scared that saying Biden is bad in any way might make Trump win. The Republicans tried to run a primary where no one criticized the presumptive nominee, and surprise surprise, it's hard to make a case as to why you should be chosen instead without saying the alternative is bad in some way.

I sure wish we could have a parliamentary system so you could vote "lefter than triangulating centrist" without it being more likely to give power to fascists than just knuckling under. Turns out a bunch of young revolutionaries in the 18th century didn't actually develop a flawless system right out of the box.
