I see you're the one that responded with a page of why Dems suck when I said the Dems wield power differently but not against Capitalism. Maybe you live in a part of the world where there is no material difference between the two parties but that is not the lived reality for myself or my neighbors. This is not a centrist saying "well actually the Dems don't suck as much as you say", it is a Marxist saying you cannot build a coalition while ignoring the material conditions people are experiencing.
ICE wishes they were SWAT. But they're not out there defusing bombs or breaking up a gun rings, they're chasing farm hands and abducting abuelas. So yeah, they're scared but not of the people they are going after.
The point is they measure success not by winning elections but by fundraising. "Harris couldn't have been wrong, she raised record amounts, it must be the the voters or something"
Okay, one still should vote for a Democrat president. Because why would you vote for a more hostile government? Unless of course you want everything go-to shit but you should lead with your intention.
It's not an either or situation, there is plenty of blame to go around. But I believe that the people with the most power are the most responsible. I know that runs counter to American corporate culture and can be a cultural shock to hear.
