Yes.
If you pretend the only two options are Republicans or Moderate Dems, then the moderate Dems are the only ones doing anything.
They're throwing glasses of water on the fire while your house burns down and stopping for five minutes between glasses to demand you praise them.
And that is the two party system. And only the two parties can change it.
Which is why Bernie has spent decades trying to get a progressive movement going. And it's finally happening.
So now we have some democrats willing to fix shit.
But don't just lump everyone with a "D" next to their name into the same group.
So I'll go back to blaming the Republicans when Republicans make shit worse.
And I'll keep blaming moderate Dems when they refuse to fix anything once in power. Even the rare things they do fix, it's still less than what Republicans break.
Keep it up, shit keeps getting worse. It's just hitting a couple branches on your way down. It's ain't even a parachute, sure as shit isn't preventing the fall.
Everyone with a D by their name is in the same group. That is what a two party system means. There are no moderate or progressive Democrats. There are just Democrats. Sowing division amongst Democrats only helps Republicans.
While I agree with the message of unity in your comment, why would you push it via this complete fabrication?
As just one example among many -
AOC: ‘In any other country, Joe Biden and I would not be in the same party’
When you look at the ballot to vote, It just says Democrat. In other countries there are more options, but here it is just D and R.
