Where do you get your info then?
I deleted my fb years ago.
I agree that dems aren't doing enough. There are a few decent ones, but nothing will change until people get up off their asses and vote for progressives in the primaries to make the count of decent ones more than just a few. Both parties suck, but good change will never come from Republicans and it will take a lot of pressure to get it from Democrats.
I will read news from external US sites that aren't biased or owned by US media or billionaires shoveling propaganda.
Same, I've been off all social media since 2016.
The 2 party system is broken. Anyone who wants real change should disassociate with either major party to help start that change. Stay to show it's acceptable to break away. Being too progressive doesn't suite everybody everywhere, either. I am a unaffiliated but have found that something like the Forward Party where they push common sense policy and have a beliefs & values oath they take, shows they're actually looking out for their constituents. Using data to help reinforce the direction they move rather than arguing black and white when are so full of grey. I think a blend of various values suites everyone best. States can then take that further as it suites them, and so on down to local cities, townships, or villages. But were need a strong core value system at the federal level for accountability. That's what's fucked, currently.
