History has shown Dems to be playing the role of wolf in sheeps clothings for over a century lmao, what are you talking about? Even the “New Deal” of FDR was actually used to placate the actual demands of the labor movement, after he promised to help if they campaigned for him, and then turned around and outlawed their strikes and busted them when he got in office. From Obama promising to close GitMo but actually accelerating it and the use of drone strikes, Biden letting Roe V Wade be overturned despite Dems for decades running on codifying it, hell even Bill Clinton is resposible for the implementation of private prisons to basically make slavery legal again.
Dems are not your friends. Sure MAGA is the BBEG, but Dems are all the henchmen with different colored shirts you need to fight on the way. They enable and support the BBEG. Sure one is worse, but the other one is still trying to fuck you over too, they’re not your ally. And to realize that none of the parties are here for you is a scary thought, and many people want to desperatley push it away for the safe and comfortable thought that you have a champion to fight for you and you’re not alone. Well you’re not alone, but its not the Dems by your side, it’s the other workers. And unfortunatley that means you’ll have to get your hands dirty directly, but turning away from the truth won’t make it easier.

These are called politicians. They are humans like anyone else and they should never be placed on a pedestal or treated like they’re above criticism for being on your team.
The both sides are the same argument denies the reality that voting in your best interest and gaining incremental progress for society is a better alternative than sitting by while the world burns around you.
Saving your support for an infallible leader who checks all your boxes, gains power and rescues society while somehow appeasing the majority and yet never compromising or screwing up something important, is a fantasy at best.
And to realize that none of the parties are here for you is a scary thought, and many people want to desperatley push it away for the safe and comfortable thought that you have a champion to fight for you and you’re not alone.
A government is composed of people. People are flawed. If you’re looking to flawed people to create your ideal society rather than strategizing how to do the best you can with what you have in front of you/working towards an improved future, you’re going to be spinning your wheels for all eternity waiting to be rescued.
Out of curiosity though, what is your ideal government/who is your ideal leader, worthy of your support? Who can you point to as an example of “that person/government that got it all right, and if we could just have a government or politicians more like them, everything would work itself out.”
Edit: Surely somebody must come to mind? Bc if not this whole post kinda seems like a lot of bullshit

Not to mention naming a fucking Truman VP when it was nearly certain FDR will die and war was won.
