they justifyably hate anyone that wants to take our money from us and waste it on an inefficient system
What do you mean?
Because liberals are right wing
and liberalism is a form of capitalism!
Wow, this guy thinks the word "democratic" is some kind of trademark invented by his party. How inward-looking can you get?
Those hung up on binary opposition might think that...
Unfortunately, it's the only "left" we have. The true left needs to form their own tea party and start electing candidates, hold Democrat policy hostage, and using primaries to out the resistors. There does not seem to be the will or unity to do this.
You can't really hold the Democrats hostage because they're fully willing to lose in order to stop leftist insurgents. While Democrats can bash their left flank over the head with "blue no matter who!" the DSA-types can't do the same to centrists.
It's important for them to try, and demonstrate it can't be done, but I don't hold out hope for that as an effective strategy.
One party will keep going towards the cliff, the other will run even faster towards the cliff.
And they always will. The left has always been and will always be a greater threat to them than the Republican Party, because we’re a threat to capitalism.
Problem is they know they'll face no consequences for not doing that. Like the worst that'll happen is conservatives go back into power in 2028 with maybe a Dem president. Libs can go back to just ranking in donation money and telling everyone that the 2030 election is the most important one of our lifetimes or the 2032 one. What a few peaceful protests that last a weekend at most every few months will change their minds?
I promise you that—from the perspective of what the Democrats claim to stand for—they’re going to waste it, because they don’t actually stand for what they claim to.
