There are good people who are democrats, for sure.

But the Democratic party is managed opposition. They love that republicans do stuff that benefits them personally, and they love that they can fundraise on the culture war stuff, and they love that no matter how bad they fail, they can blame republicans.

The party as an organization is one of the worst enemies of progress, because it sucks up resources as if it will do something, but then turns around and spends all the money on their safe seats.
