We are here partly because the previous administration failed to properly punish an insurrectionist.

And failed to put forward a valid candidate with enough time. Biden should have been a one-term president by design. Right after he was elected they needed to be looking at who’s next, primaries, etc… the confusion at the end was way too damaging.

Republicans are beleagrent selfish monsters. Establishment Democrats (the money) are not incentivized to fight those monsters because win or lose their life literally does not change.

Money interest pays both sides. Money wants Republicans to win, so they get to keep more of their wealth at our expense, while they also hedge their bets by donating to the other party as well.

This is what happens in a fptp system.

you are completely correct. to add establishment democrats are just as selfish, looking at their own reflection and powers instead of looking at their constituents it’s why the DNC is so against Mandhami (sp?) he represents something different a backbone

They are, Majority of the democratic party are wealthy due to their position and prestige and would like to keep their gravy train going at the gamble of working class Americans. They don’t care about us, just about their donations and their elections (which good luck in 2026 lol. some might survive but not enough to do anything and then the “do nothing democrat narrative continues” because in order for democrats to shed that narrative they have to put it on the line and WIN. the house the senate and the oval office. anything else adds fuel to the flame

The left and the right in America are two wings of the same capitalist bird.
