    “Hardly better” ?

    I’ll gladly criticize the DNC and upper Democratic Party leadership all fucking day long, but I say this as a quasi anarchist / socialist-libertarian: they are fucking leagues better than the republicans who are racist and xenophobic to their core, stealing unimaginable amounts of money from everybody they can, are defending a goddamn cabal of child raping pedophiles, and are doing their fucking best to establish a fascist state.

    “oH bUt hE dOeSnT lIkE uNiVeRsaL hEaLtHcArE!!” yea fuck him, but to compare that failure to people actively protecting child rapists? Fuck offfffffffff.

      They’re spoilers for actual socialist candidates. This is a dog and pony show.

        I’ll admit I left the US a few years ago, so I may be a little out of the loop but… what fucking “actual socialist” candidates? Are there more than three yet?

          No, we had one, last presidential election and Democrats sued and won to keep her off the swing state ballots.

            One. My man, at the federal level there’s 435 members of the House and 100 members of the Senate. At the state level there’s 50 governors and 7,383 total legislative seats.

            I don’t think you can blame Democrats for being spoilers to “actual socialists” when “actual socialists” aren’t on the damn menu.

            According to Wikipedia there’s 102 DSA-aligned (who are Democratic-Socialists and not “actual socialists”) politicians at the federal and state level. Out of 7,968 seats. Barely over 1%.
