To everyone saying this is "both sides bad" shit: that is an incorrect characterization, as that would imply the parties are on different sides.

Nah, this is some "both sides are bad" bullshit. One side tried to get rid of student loan debt and the other side said no. One side is fighting for equal right for all races/genders/color etc and the other side says no. It goes on and on like this. Give me a break.
Abortion rights were repealed under Democrats, trans rights are being repealed under Democrats, police budgets have increased in response to BLM, and non-stop war is completely bipartisan.
Both sides ARE bad, just because one of them sometimes offers tepid opposition doesn't make them good. Democrats are not on your side either.
In fact Obama campaigned on codifiying abortion rights but when he entered office he admitted its not a priority for his administration.
Abortion rights were repealed because Trump got 3 partisan supreme court justices appointed.

Why must people always misinterpret this?
No, leftists are not trying to appeal to homophobic white people with this.
They’re reminding you that Democrats will still oppress the working class irrespective of your race, gender, or orientation.
Though don’t kid yourself, the Democratic Party still oppresses black and queer folks when they think they don’t need black and queer votes.

Is that how people interpret this? Wew

Okay, what is with all the Democrat-defending libs in this thread. Reddit-tier logic.

fuck all these liberals appealing to “dems make things better for the working class”. the working class does not start and end at the amerikkkan border motherfucker.
the Dems being for the working class is an old folk tale that just won't die
Important point. From the point of view of 95,5% of humanity USA present nearly uniform face regardless of who is in power. And this goes not only for the victims of US but for their vassals too. Barely anyone outside US gives a shit about the US political theatre, even the analysis of the comprador euro think tanks smells with indifference under the flimsy mask of engagement.

Rightist criticism of the Democratic Party 😤✋
Leftist criticism of the Democratic Party ☺️👉
I do wonder about Democrats though. Part of me thinks the “spoilers” that we see like Lieberman, Sinema, and Manchin are there specifically so Democrats can say, “Aww shucks, we tried folks, guess we can’t get that shiny new thing we promised you. Oh well, we’ll just give up on that idea.” Meanwhile Republicans ramming through the most unpopular shit in the world every chance they can get, whereas Dems don’t seem to try hard enough on issues that seem to have plenty of popular support.
That's the Designated Villain playbook. As long as there's just one or two a year, in a field where typically everyone is vetted, double-vetted, and receipt-checked, the pork train trundles on unobstructed.

Alright this comment section was fun but reddit liberals will never change their minds on anything (if they did they wouldn't try to make Lemmy into Reddit), so I'm locking this.
PS: if you support the democrats I hope they drone strike your house like they drone striked a Pakistani wedding since you seem to like them so much :)
