    Policy wise they are barely left of Republicans and if we overlaid today’s political scale and that from 1980, Democrats would be to the far right of Reagan.

      Ok. If you’re happy with all the deportations, support of pedophiles, bombing of fishermen, trashing the economy with tariffs, etc, then I guess you’re happy with your failure to vote against that. All good.

        Trump has been Obama and Biden’s legacy. Liberal failure to hold their own party accountable has led to people like Trump. Despite all of Trump’s deportations he has still not topped the number of people Obama deported nor has he denied due process to the same number of people that Obama denied. The bombing of fisherman is about oil, the same cause of all the bombings in the ME. This is what Democrats voted for by allowing their party to turn into right wing reactionaries

          You really think trump is better than Obama? Well you’re entitled to your crazy opinion. But don’t blame Obama for making you vote for trump if you actually realize how bad trump is - that’s on you.

              You think he’s exactly the same then? Even with the level that ICE is taking people off the streets now, the blatant corruption, the giving in to Russia, the war on Venezuela? The childish insulting of the US’s allies? The moronic tariffs? The appointment of complete idiots to high posts?
              And if you can actually see that trump is way worse than any democrat leader (even the bad ones), then not voting democrat contributed to electing trump. So you must see that not voting democrat was stupid, and it makes you responsible for all the crap that trump is doing.

                The only difference is liberals are busy at brunch when a Democrat is in office and they don’t pay attention to what’s going on. Who gave ICE the largest increase of federal funding they’ve ever received and expanded detention center construction? Who oversaw the largest increase of homeless? Who had the power to stop a genocide in Gaza and did nothing but deny a genocide was occurring? Democrats overall support Trump’s actions they just don’t like how they are being carried out, they prefer their fascism covert.

                    It’s the DNC that prefers trump, he allows them to keep shifting to the right while voters accept it without question. 2010 Democrats could never imagine aligning with someone like Dick Cheney, but 2024 democrats did without question. Your party is officially first term trump Republicans
