Liberals are also to blame for gaslighting and selling workers out to the capital class for 50+ years. The last Democrat President that actually fought for the proletariat was FDR with his New Deal programs.
Yes, liberals were less evil than Republicans, but when Obama tried to give us universal healthcare they stabbed him in the back and when Bernie set multiple grassroot funding records, they conspired against him and stabbed the entire nation in the back. So if we factor in the opportunities for real leftist leadership that liberals stole from us than that opportunity cost is nearly as damaging as what Republicans are doing.
- nearly as damaging
  really? More BS false equivalence. The liberals where never in control enough to make any of that happen. They may not be perfect by any means but to say they're "nearly as damaging" as the right is just ridiculous.
  
  Convenient that when the GOP has a razor thin edge they get everything they want with almost no issue, but when DNC has a super majority they can barely get watered down health insurance reform.
  
  That's the difference between ethical governing and the unethical abuse of power.
  If you want liberals to "get everything they want", and ignore democracy, they'd have to do it unethically.
  Wouldn't it be better if everyone played by the rules, and governed like they are actually working in the best interests of voters?
  
  The real problem is most of the DNC don't want the things they say they do to get elected. They get the same conservative money the GOP does to be sure those things don't happen.
  
  Then let's apply the same reasoning we did in November. Some unethical abuse of power is going to happen. Wouldn't you rather it be less?
  
  It's a lot easier to get things done when you get to cheat while the other side has to play by the rules.
  
  In the past the Democrats did good things for regular people.
  Today's Democrat party is incapable of doing good things for regular people. Literally no better than Republicans these days tho.
  There's no false equivalence in comparing two arms of the same Duopoly.
  
  Literally no better than Republicans?
  You're either a troll or completely brainrotted
  
  Yea... dems aren't great and I'd love to see a new party. But, I do not understand people saying "the party that is bad at governing is basically as bad as the party taking over the nation through brute force." Insane logic.
  
  So when do the Dems step up and do something to fight back instead of shrugging while voting for fascism?
  
  All Dems are voting for fascism?
  
  The votes wouldn't be passing if they didn't vote for it.
  
  So if I looked up how Republicans and Democrats vote, they'd be the same? The Democratic voting history would be literally no better?
