Most Americans are more concerned about the material conditions of their lives and the DNC repeatedly drops the ball on improving any of that. If they turned that around, they might win elections.
Like, don’t get me wrong, I think climate change is important and needs to be addressed, but also wages have been utterly detached from productivity for decades while the rich keep getting wildly richer, my rent, food prices and medical costs are skyrocketing, and I’ll likely never be able to afford a home because the previous generations and massive companies are using living spaces as speculative investment. Education prices are batshit insanely high compared to other developed countries, our intercity infrastructure is lost in the last century compared to places like Europe and China, I could go on and on!
And the DNC isn’t doing anything about that.
Edit: or, hey, here’s a crazy idea, maybe doing fucking anything to safeguard the nation from the rise of fascism? Naw? Oh, you’re expanding ICE and building more concentration camps? Alright cool DNC thanks, yeah do nothing and demand my vote anyway
Okay but it was about improving the material conditions of Americans by lowering the cost of energy and creating some jobs. It wasnt fast but few good things are
…sorry dude… I mostly remember my energy costs going up year after year.
It just feels like they’re not on our side and they leave the working man out to dry every time they get an ounce of power.
I mean, I don’t really care about things being done “the right way” or whatever, the Republicans do just fine implementing their agenda, even if it’s riddled in lawsuits and stymied later, they do it in the moment. If the DNC was doing that, but, like, with helping people? I think I’d be more sympathetic.
They just seem like they wanna maintain the status quo and never undo any of the horrors that the RNC implemented. Heck, they even exacerbate some of em.
It’s hard to feel like they’re really an opposing party in anything but rhetoric.
Nnnnnnot really…
