    No no no you’ve got this wrong

    If the dnc, whose constituents are elected by the people and who are supposed to exert the will of the people, decide that they do not care about the will of the people, they will find that the people do not care about them.

    It is quite literally their job to carry out what their voters want. If they don’t, they lose. That’s the main premise of voting. They didn’t, they lost.

    And everyone was screaming at them what they wanted

    Biden expanded drilling He expanded the border wall He used trumps immigration policies He broke strikes and sided with corporations He committed genocide He did not halt price gouging He stopped testing for covid He did not help the common man

    He did everything, in short, that the Republicans wanted to.

    So how do you make something happen if every person just says nah it can’t happen?

    I’m pretty sure every major invention and advancement came because people said it can happen

    No one thought the divine right of kings would end. But people got mad and changed it. It’s not even like we don’t have examples of better systems running concurrently with us. Having multiple parties is not that strange, almost every civilized country has it.

    So if you keep sitting there saying this is the way it’s always been, so I won’t change, then yell st people trying to make change, you’re just being one of those people who hold everyone else back.

    If you vote for quick genocide or slow genocide you are still voting for genocide

    If you vote for the lesser evil, you are still voting for evil. I am sorry that your morals are so bankrupt that you’re willing to let your own country murder hundreds of thousands of people in cold blood and not care.

    Lets not rewrite history and pretend that Biden/Harris were good for Palestinians. They vetoed every single ceasefire that came up, and were the only country to do so.

    They lost this election themselves by not listening to their base. The fault started and remains and ends with the establishment democratic party

    This is the comment which you linked to, copied and pasted:

    Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot: Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation. Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills for a vote. At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up - JD Vance. By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand. Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost. Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

    This doesn’t seem like a glowing commendation to me. It seems he said exactly what he thinks happened, and that only one person showed up. He even brings up the fact that Dems could choose the progressive wing with Bernie, but that they chose to follow the money. That’s not false either.

    I really don’t get how this is full MAGA, unless you’re stating that anything that praises the Republicans is full MAGA.
