    Well. We have a bit of a situation. While not too many of us were paying attention, the democratic party was all bought and paid for by aipac and pac. We all thought it was just Republicans. It wasn’t.

    The Dems have been becoming less for the people and just another Republican party. And for the last 10 years at least (likely accelerated by citizens United (aka- legal bribing of politicians) they are basically almost 100% Republican. I recall telling my lefty friends I thought Kamala sounded like a Republican. Cause she did.

    Democrats were presented like the party that supported BLM, trans rights, pro lgbtq. Pro education. Housing the homeless. Food for kids. Free education. All that good stuff. But in reality they have done very little for any of those things. They just didn’t publicly go against any of them.
    Though they often did vote against them if the aipac or pac money told them too. They are like 80% bought and paid for.

    We incorrectly assumed they stood with those good things. In part due to a few of the Dem politicians actually pushing a few bills. Mostly at the state level.

    But literally just a handful of bills in the last decade. Nothing that actually fully protected these groups or services.

    So when Trump started his illegal b.s, they weren’t going to go against him. Why would they. ?

    Many Dems voted for his completely unqualified cabinet members.

    That was at the start of the year.

    Now after things have been ramping up, we have about a dozen Dems (in office) finally speaking up.

    Out of those. Half are posers. They voted with Trump on cabinet picks, to block Epstein list. And they voted against Al Greens impeachment. Oh and let’s not forget. The big beautiful bill. Plenty of Dems voted for it.

    So here is our predicament. We have a compromised party.

    They dem posers are going to do whatever they can to keep their positions and pac money.

    It’s a corrupt “club”. They don’t want anyone coming in and disrupting their power.

    They don’t want new dems coming in who will show everyone how corrupt they are. Call them out. Show the people it can be different.

    These corrupt Dems all need to go. And right now there are so damn many of them. Including Jeffries and Schumer. That it’s going to be a challenge just to get the party cleaned up.

    At the same time we are trying to fight fascist take over.

    It’s quite a lot.

    But we have to clean house. Replace every single one if we have to. Any who are not being incredibly vocal and direct about Israel, Gaza, human rights, and trump.

    No more Dems who won’t make a stand for us. No more Republicans pretending to be Dems.

    Many are saying we need a 3rd party. We do have independents. But I do think we can take the dem party back for the people. We just need to vote in the right people. Push back against corporate bots and propaganda. Vote in our own self interest.
