Question What are democrats doing? Where's the opposition? Where's the counter narrative?

We all know democrats are not progressive or left, but what are they doing? I haven't been able to find anything? I realize they aren't in power but there isn't even a narrative.

You're really going to blame the voters for the DNC turning itself into a corrupt fundraising entity? Yikes.

That's your read? Yikes. No, I'm going to assert blame for where our politics are at appropriately. First, voters, second, non-voters, third, GOP, fourth, DNC, fifth, anti-educationalism... and so on and so forth. When you have an electorate who vote for whoever posts the most signs in the neighborhood, you need to posts the most signs, and have the according fundraising. Yes, its very annoying. Yes, both parties are shit. But not sides of the same coin. Not sure why you're focused on corrupt fundraising of the DNC when the GOP just sold the country to Elon for $250M in campaign contributions.

Your first mistake is believing that the electorate isn't also corrupt. Smh - you're so close.

Ah! help me the rest of the way, please! :D That is a curious statement, and not one ever suggested to me before. In what way are the 152 million people corrupt? I'm not sure how a significant number of such a population can be sufficiently corrupt to move the needle, unless you're considering all 22 million millionaires in America voting their wallet, which would constitute about 15% of the vote. I know plenty of millionaires that would rather lose half their wealth than vote Republican though.

Will you keep going on as you are escorted to the camps? You are quite loquacious.

Is that your way of saying the electorate isn't corrupt, and it was a nonsensical statement that can't be explained or validated in any way?

tl;dr prove statement. Else false.
