But they did make it worse, their policies led directly to where the US is now.

It's so fucking ridiculous!

In the past 30 years Dems were in power 2/3 of the time, so they very obviously did contribute to the state of affairs that led to Trump being elected twice!

Or if the country moved rightward regardless of what team the President represents, then it means voting in this system is only ceremonial and completely useless activity.

Either Dems are enablers of Fascists or voting is useless, there's no third option.

Well biden won by 20 mil and then those votes went away and didnt even go third party. So seems like disenfranchisement than country moving more than moving right.

disenfranchisement

Which democrats let happen without pushback

It's also extreme disillusionment. Everyone is checked out and realizes Democrats are genocidal frauds now

Well that's the truth but at least vote third party. If im right then dems will follow the votes. They see 29 mil suddenly happen for third party ill bet my hat they will change tune. Im convinced they go right cause those are the people that vote.

You do realise that it's a big part of a politician's job to mobilise the masses to vote?

historically speaking people with power are dumb dumbs and/or go for low hanging fruit. Hence DNC courting all those republicans voters in last cycle. Old ppl vote more comparatively.
