I swear to fucking Christ I hate the Democrats more than the Republicans at this point. For fucks sake the Democrats chose someone who allowed EVERYTHING to happen just so the fucking cowards at the DOJ don't get their feelings hurt when fox news calls them politicized witch hunters... But, fucking news flash assholes, THEY'RE DOING IT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.

Now we might actually get fucking AG Gaetz that will sic the DOJ on anyone and everyone that opposes Trump. Hope history treats Garland like the goddamn coward that he is. What a joke.

Congrats, you've been played into infighting with the only legitimate opposition to Republicans, very cool 👌

It's not really infighting, it's just exasperation. Nothing I say here matters at all, I'm just a fart in the wind. I have no voice to be heard outside of here so I vent my frustrations with the idiots in charge.

I will continue to vote for the feckless idiots because I have no real meaningful choice and as you say we need to oppose the Republican agenda.

At least you realize it, unlike a lot of people who sat out this last election and got us into this mess.

We really need ranked choice voting, or something similar... Democrats will always be my strategic vote, but they'll pretty much never be the first ranked vote from me.

Has to be RCV for me. In STAR voting optimizing your voting power means only picking one candidate, or your second picks could spoil you first choice. In STAR when voting for the underdog, Id never so much as rank another candidate because it would mathematically soften my vote.

With this opposition, you might as well be a one party state like China. Even if Democrats win, Republicans still end up in a position to block whatever they don't like.

As long as Democrats keep chasing Wall Street donors instead of listening to what people want, I'm going to keep shitting on them.

While your not wrong, OP is still right and both things can be true. Its not in fighting as I'm sure OP isnt a senator that can oppose the appointment. But the anger is real and should be felt and heard DNC has helped walk in this era of shit we inherit.

I thought 45 killed off enough supporters to prevent a return but that wasn't the case. So OP rage, find other like minded ppl who see what you see, because resistance is now and there's nothing better to fuel a resistance than anger and rage

infighting with the only legitimate opposition to Republicans criticizing the billionaire-owned controlled opposition that is as complicit as any non-Republican in allowing fascism to rise again.

Fixed it for you.

Keep backing the fucking losers then. Do you feel in charge?

How does backing the winners here make you a winner? Who wants to be a winner of most racist?
