      It’s a fascist party vs. a big tent “everyone else” party. That’s how the #GOP works in lock(goose)step & the Democrats constantly have to deal with pandering, grasping assholes like Manchin & Sinema.

        The Democrats aren’t a “big tent” party they’re a “vote for us or you get the fascists” party.

          If you want the Democrats to be the worst we could do, first you have to make sure that’s what happens.

          What purpose does this statement serve aside from venting your frustration and leftist infighting

            If you think that leftists disliking Democrats is “leftist infighting” you have a fox news brain definition of what a leftist is.

              God just listen to yourself. I never said the democrats were leftists. I said this subject prompts leftist infighting. Use your brain.

                Sorry, I assumed you were trying to say something that made any sense at all. Your objection is even dumber than I thought if you think the Democrats’ only selling point being that they’re not the Republicans is even a remotely controversial point on the left.

      I disagree, there’s a pretty big swath between the polar opposites of the party for democrats in the US. They are both capitalists, yes; but not conservative.

      Perhaps more accurate would be a pro democracy party and a pro authoritarianism party.
