It does not take long for me to come back here and remember why I left. After so many years of fending off bad faith criticisms from the GOP, it has left Democrats/center-left folks totally incapable of reckoning with legitimate criticism. It's dulled the senses, I suppose, aided by a media class more than willing to shift along with the center as it drifts further to the right.
I would donate to the campaign of Sanders or Warren and vocally support them. The rest will almost definitely get my vote, but nothing more than that, and I think would all present real opportunities for Trump to get re-elected. The most disheartening thing to me about the obsession with Russia is not that I don't think they interfered, but rather that it was used as a catch-all excuse for why the Democrats failed. There is no reckoning with their total inability to accomplish anything.
This whole forum is a fucking bulletin board for DNC talking points, and I give credit that you're all very good at playing the sheet music. I don't mean that you're propagandists; I think you all are generally genuine in your beliefs, even if I don't think the arguments may be as consistently genuine.
But you're just ... wrong, and wrong so much. It's just decidedly different from reality, in a way that I often fail to articulate because I just get angry over how much you're failing to see that's right in front of your face. I can only say it so many ways.
Capitalism is crumbling all around us. The environment is rapidly preparing to kill us. Silicon Valley ceased innovating anything but how to reignite monopolizing industries. Another economic crash is virtually guaranteed in the next 5-7 years. And here we are hearing about how the leftists are too unrealistic and we just need a responsible milquetoast Dem to come save us from Trump. And it might happen! But all it will do is get us another four years of nothing happening, everyone remembering that no improvement is all the Democrats have to offer, and the GOP taking back power within the decade.
