Exactly.
Eventually something minor cannot be done, we want democrat politicians to stop cooperating with Republicans... but no, they just roll to expose their belly and vote in the budget bill.

Democratic leaders blearily looked up from their mid-afternoon cocktails on the decks of billionaire's yachts and said, "They want us to what?"
Indeed, they're just too status quo.
Trump is actively killing democracy. Some Democratic politicians have chosen the most pathetic, inexcusable response possible: bland indifference.
Iβm torn between fear that our government will collapse, and the cynical realization that maybe it deserves to.
So, trumps polling all time low numbers, democrats are polling low numbers.
I feel like if I release T-Shirts that just say "Everything sucks", they would be universally popular.
*gestures broadly* T-shirts
Person wearing "gestures broadly" t-shirt standing next to someone wearing a "Thanks, I hate it" t-shirt.
I'd vote for that ticket.
Unfortunately I think the people need to start fighting first. Neither side can count on their elected officials anymore. One side is just too stupid to realize it yet...
Need some serious, if not injurious protests. Time to fight and make some noise.
Democratic party is the party of status quo.
Conservative party is the party of destruction/cancer.
The people want a party of progress.
The people will never get what they want with these two parties in charge of everything.
Just a sad fact. Things will get worse before they get better.
US voters want to fight against the one party state .... the Democrat/Republican Party
I'm eagerly waiting to see US voters fighting against Republicans, I'm not sure I've seen it in my whole adult life
Democratic party is owned by capitalists. They will never fight for policy that actually improves living conditions of the working class, and thus their sole βpopularityβ has to stem from people who think they will fight against fascism (they wonβt and they donβt).

We need a new party. Or burn it all to the ground.
Electoral politics are clearly a fools errand at this point anyway
Fuck Americans. And I say that as an American.
A good chunk of you dont give a fuck about voting and that's why were here.
And they probably aren't smart enough to sign up to Lemmy.
So eat it up. Everyday. Wake up and smell it. All the shit.
Man I wish they'd get rid of this phony nerd routine this guy pulls with his idiotic rolled up sleeves and over the top presentation. Theres plenty of real data nerds out there who'd do a better job.
fight rather than compromise
Why are there so many stupid people that can vote? Because that is how fascists and authoritarian governments get to grab power.
History has given us some of the best documented examples of how it can go terribly wrong. Specifically Hitler and how he first destroyed democracy. Every step Trump is taking is the same as Hitler did.
Hungary is another good case of how the right got into power and then changed laws to make it extremely unlikely they will ever be unseated.
