We have Trump in large part thanks to Clinton and the Democratic establishment following Reagan's lead and embracing neoliberalism and market fundamentalism. Obama continued this trend, with ACA being a literal Heritage Foundation plan and Wall Street being a big early ally. And then with Biden, they ensured nothing "fundamentally changed" after Trump's first term.

With no left/socialist alternative in this country, Trump appealed to both reactionaries and working class electorates looking for someone to shake things up and "drain the swamp", even if misguided.

Democrats are losers and have been my entire adult life. They answer to capital and fight for capital, and thus, will never tackle the root causes of our slide into oligarchy and fascism.

Yes. But Trump is worse. Unfortunately, it's quite simple really.
