Because they spent the last 4 years doing the “Everything is fine” meme while everyone’s quality of life rapidly started to deteriorate.

If only it were just that. They made it perfectly clear that they lied about all of the individual benefits in build back better and never had any intention at all of passing them. They made it clear that they won't increase the minimum wage and that it will remain stuck at 7.25 forever. They didn't revisit the public option. They didn't protect Roe. They didn't protect democracy with the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. They didn't reschedule cannabis. The only person who could count on democrats to do what they said they would was netanyahu.

Democrats have a massive credibility problem and they earned it.

Meanwhile trump had project 2025 and is implementing it, much better than doing nothing!

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There it is! The assumption that anyone who is upset in the slightest with democrats for any reason whatsoever must be a trumper!

You lost to trump because you did nothing, but you don't want the party to ever improve, so you'll keep blaming anyone who doesn't love how the only thing the party can ever seem to accomplish is selling weapons for genocide.

I didn't lose to anyone, I'm an ocean away from that steaming pile of shit, but fun assuming.

Like you're one to talk about assuming.
