Agreed. I understand that Democrats aren’t comic-book-supervillain level evil like the Republicans currently are - Which is the only reason I voted Democrat the last three elections - but that doesn’t mean Democrats are any good either.
One way I like to sum it up: Republicans seem to want the future from Cyberpunk 2077, and Democrats seem to want the future from Demolition Man. Yes, the future from Cyberpunk 2077 is more dystopian than the future from Demolition Man, but that doesn’t mean the future from Demolition Man is a great future to live in either.
Sorry but “Vote for us because at least we aren’t completely evil” isn’t a very inspiring message. Yes, I will still vote Democrat against MAGA every time, but for fuck sake, Democrats. “Do better”.
Look. I will vote Democrat against MAGA every single time, but “Vote for us because at least we aren’t killing people” isn’t the flex you think it is. That’s like someone bragging about never having been to prison and expecting others to be impressed by it.
Sorry, but “vote for us because at least we aren’t the other guys” has been the fallback message of Democrats for decades and that isn’t going to cut it any more. Right now there’s a real chance for the Democratic Party to change in to something better than it was, and I sincerely hope Democrats seize that opportunity instead of just expecting everyone to vote for them just because they happen to not be as awful as Republicans are.
