its not what the meme says

it says dems are 5% hitler and reps are 99.5% hitler, completely false.

I still don’t even fully agree with this.

Democrats will give lip service about healthcare when they have no chance of passing it, then when they do, 20% of them will fuss over details, dooming it. But they won’t actively rail against healthcare measures or vote largely in favor of corporate-driven DOD spending packages.

Most of their fault is in choosing not to fight Republican measures as hard as they can.

They could have passed it, Democrats chose not to. Likewise with minimum wage, and much more.

(look up the nuclear option. They never, ever need a super majority to pass a bill. Ever. It's a parliamentary rule ONLY)

Your comment was edited, so I'll address this sentence only. Democrats choose to accept money from "donators", and in return they purposefully decide, by not challenging parliamentary procedure (which they do often otherwise), to let a bill die. Like, for example, minimum wage increase under Biden.

His platform. They didn't even pretend to fight. And by "fight" I mean change a parliamentary rule by majority vote to pass a bill.
