    The entire raison d’etre of the Democratic party is to make polite Republicanism the only alternative to real Republicanism. They have consistently proved that unity to fight Republicans is only ever supposed to go one way. Progressives have to give up all of their ideals and positions to support the right-wing of the Democratic Party, which should never be questioned or asked to compromise in any form. If progressive policies would help win elections against Republicans, than all the centrists will sabotage everything to help Republicans win, rather than let progressives win on popular policies.

    It was the centrists Dems that gave us Trump. Making Neoliberalism bipartisan and the hollowing out of America that paved the way for Trump. BILLIONAIRES CONTROLLED BOTH PARTIES STARTING WITH CLINTON IN 1992, AT THE LATEST! The Democrats would rather try to use the crude and crass actions of the Republicans, to try to run on their platform, but being the lesser evil, since they are polite. There is a reason Obama and Biden are the top two deportation presidents. And Biden/Harris continued to support genocide, even though it posed an electoral liability.

    The Democrats aren’t people with their heart in the right place, forced to make compromises. They are the sheep-dogs forcing people to accept “lesser evils” when the “lesser evils” are the same policies with a figurehead being more polite. Their entire point is to use the two-party system to prevent any substantive opposition to right-wing policy to take form.
