It’s actually delusional to believe Democrats would have been “exactly the same”.
I’m sure that Harris would have given us some glorious speeches while she allowed corporations to run roughshod over workers and added another four-percent to the war budget every year, but none of that matters for the reasons I stated above in the thread.
The problem here is that Democrats don’t differentiate themselves in ways that matter to the vast majority of the poor and working class.
>looks at the absolute gutting of worker protections, union rights, funding to Medicare, funding to food stamps, and an unimaginable number of federal grants that go directly to providing services to impoverished Americans being pushed through executive action and congress
Yeah sure exactly the same, absolutely no difference between the two. The working class definitely won’t be suffering any more
I don’t know how to make this any clearer this is not a full throated endorsement of the democratic party by any means. This is a pragmatic response to our failed governmental system.
If my choices are won’t cut food stamps and will cut food stamps. I will vote for the party that won’t cut food stamps.
I have plenty of criticisms for the “won’t cut food stamps” party, but abstaining from voting and allowing the “will cut food stamps” party to win is the absolute worse option. If you want to pretend to care about the working class don’t stand on a moral high ground and allow the “will cut food stamps” party to walk into a majority.

That right there should be the next Democratic campaign slogan:
“We suck marginally less than Republicans, not that it’ll affect most of you in any meaningful way.”
At least, that would be it if they were honest people.

It’s amazing isn’t it?
These people have such moral purity that they abstain from voting and… help hurt fucking children.
They, in their inaction, are as responsible for the current situation as the republicans are.
