The min wage last went up under Dems. Yes, worker rights have expanded under Dems. Yes, Dems kneecapped themselves by taking a public option out of the ACA but at least they got super close, unlike the GOP, whose best claim to policy change on healthcare was that dramatic moment when McCain stopped them from repealing the ACA.

One party wants granny to die from pre-existing conditions, the other isn’t quite left enough for you.

15 years ago.

As long as you don’t consider the right to strike to be a right.

Yes, Dems kneecapped themselves by taking a public option out of the ACA

They kneecap themselves a lot.

but at least they got super close

Why do Democrats keep expecting us to be happy with “we pretended to try”? And again, this was 15 years ago. You can’t coast on half-accomplishments forever.

, unlike the GOP

And the assumption that all criticism of Democrats must be support for the GOP rears its head.

One party wants granny to die from pre-existing conditions, the other isn’t quite left enough for you.

One party killed the public option for you. One party made sure the minimum wage stayed low for you. You’re happy with what we didn’t get.

Quit defending your fucking warden, wage slave. You’re even speaking for them.

The Dems were the stop-gap measure, not our personal opinions. They’re corporate Democrats. They protect their own, not us. They’ll take us with them if it’s an option, they occasionally do, but we ain’t the main focus, homie. Never have been. Apple, Meta, Tesla, they’re the real clients to the Democratic party.

Fuck em both. Don’t give me your half-assed freedom fighters in suits lol.

AOC is just Disney liberal.

Edit: DEFEND YOUR OWNERS, LEMMY

Biden just pardoned his son and you can’t afford dental. Mad? Why? You voted for it.
