The problem is is both sides suck the dick of israel and they don't care about us. They don't want any of the reforms that society's demanding. They want to keep their 10 houses and five cars and practically free healthcare. They don't ever want to go to work and they don't want to step down. They are completely useless to the American people, they laugh in our faces. They piss on us, we are nothing but the catch basin of a urinal to these people. Pay us more we give you less and whatever we give you we give most of it to our pet projects and donors. That's who's in office right now. We're not winning if Jeffries and Schumer take the reins again. If the same weasel just with a different shirt on. I can almost absolutely guarantee you trump turd will not get thrown out of office and it's just going to be a bunch of pocket lining and platitudes for the next two years while they try to get a president in there to just rinse repeat the Biden bullshit.
"The problem is both sides..."
You lost me right there. ICE buildup, attack greenland/canada/cuba, insult all allies, destroy tourism, attack iran, choke ukraine aid, implement tarriffs, install conservative judges for lifetime terms.
Those are one sided.
This is why we also fight to primary in the actual progressive candidates and oust the establishment neo-liberals. Mamdani was a sign that progress can be made.
You can't really do the same for the Republican party.
Liberals will have a easy time earning their incremental change through republican primaries when we are a one party state. Its totally possible! Why else would they give progressives that advice?
