How can you run on a platform of democracy, when democracy has gotten the average American citizen jack shit?
"Vote for a Democrat. If Democrats win, nothing will fundamentally change. If they lose, then you will lose your right to vote for a Democrat again!"
That's a shit platform that is doomed to fail. Democrats have been running on the platform of "we're the last hope for democracy" for a generation as this point. And at some point people simply give up and decide, "well, democracy clearly ain't all it's cracked up to be, as neither side actually wants to help regular people."
Jesus fucking Christ.
