Spamming as a conservative on multiple posts? This is the same type of posts you see on conservative reddit, always pointing out both sides, when there's almost none of the same type of opinionated posts when referring to Republicans. I know you like to blame Dems, but Republicans are the ones actually promoting and using racism , and fascism right? Where's the criticism against them with such vigor as your post. Your the reason why Reddit has been so aggressive with their banning. Also because your barely mention Rs in good faith. Yes dema has their problems, but Republicans are far worst people.

It’s been 8 years of the lesser evil with Democrats and I’m sick of them. I cannot in good conscience support them any longer because they have time and again chosen to maintain the status quo.

The Biden administration did many things to help Americans, most notably the Inflation Reduction Act and the student debt forgiveness. But most of it is being dismantled by the current administration. And the Dems knew this would be the case. Yet they chose to go the executive order route or the highly diluted down IRA. It’s not the people’s problem that you cannot get your party members in line. Why would we vote for you if you cannot deliver?

Nancy Pelosi chose not to even allow the bill to prevent members of Congress from insider trading. Republicans are using it to line their pockets like never before. You want to have your cake and eat it too. Well the people are sick of your hypocrisy and it showed in the elections.

It’s been more than a month of rapid fire gutting of the US government. What has the party done as the main opposition besides “coming up with a strategy”? Because it’s impossible to do anything meaningful without revealing how much you have gained from the system.

The Democrats who truly care about change need to spin off their own party. That’s the only way enough people will be mobilized to make a meaningful difference in the next elections.

The Democratic Party as a whole is like milk in your fridge that's a week past its "best by" date.

The Republican Party is milk that a dog vomited on a Texas in July sidewalk.

We're drinking one of them, because no alternative is possible in the near term.

It's possible to vote for Democrats in 2026 and '28 and '30 and '32 while we build an alternative that can have electoral success, or takeover the Democratic Party from within or heck turn the Republican Party into a party worth supporting...

Naw, It totally depends on how you downvote Democrats.

The majority of the anti-magats know the Democrats suck. We also know that the magats suck worse, and then the green and libertarians worse yet.

If you give any form of indication that you think the Democrats are worse than the magats, That's a downvote.

Most of the existing Democrats aren't particularly cozy with the Democratic leadership, or honestly even with the full scope of their intent, But the f if we're going to not download you for promoting something worse.

this is ragebait. democrats constantly criticize their reps, to a fault. obv spending time criticizing dems more than repubs rn is tone deaf and actively harmful. if theres some point to be made like 'jeffries is a sold out dark money lobbyist' plenty would agree; but if someone says 'democrats suck' as a blanket statement rn, im gonna assume theyre a russian bot and block+ban✌️
