It's such an abuser mentatlity: "Why do you make me hurt you?"

I wouldn't describe it as a "monopoly" per say. I'd describe it as "all of the competition is filled with idiots":

I just finished Little Brother: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Brother_(Doctorow_novel)

"The novel is about four teenagers...in the aftermath of a terrorist attack...defend themselves against the Department of Homeland Security's attacks on the Bill of Rights."

It took me a long time, because I had to read it in small sections due to my anxiety going out of control. It felt a little too on the nose with ICE kidnapping people off the streets.

When did they say “the economy is good?”

During his State of the Union Address:

"Folks, I inherited an economy that was on the brink. Now our economy is literally the envy of the world....America is rising. We have the best economy in the world..."

You can try to reform the Democrats all you want, and I legitimately wish you luck, but I'm pretty pessimistic that swaping them out will do anything. They have already shown that they would rather lose, than let anyone with any principles have power in their party.

You think the Democratic party, the same party that bombed innocent people, did mass deportations without due process, and tortured people, are "useless"?

That sounds a lot like "fucking evil" to me.

...Democrats are by-and-large truthful (or simply silent) about the causes of the affordability crisis.

Wut? the same Democrats that came out and said "The economy is good akshually, you just don't understand".

Yes, it was dumb to think that the Republicans were going to fix the economy, but lets stop pretending that the Democrats ever had any intention of fixing it.

In short, I think that while the GOP lies, the Democrats are just lazy.

The Democrats act lazy, but in reality, they want the same thing that the GOP wants: Their donors to be happy. They only pretend to fight, until they can get the votes to keep their seats.
