There’s tons of instances of Democrats voting for tax cuts for the rich/against tax cuts for everyone else at the state and local levels, so I’m not sure what links you want there
Ending a shutdown is not as simple as signing onto every GOP agenda, while it at times has been a mistake, but at the very least the DNC defunded the DHS.
The DNC also tried to ban all non-individual spending and cap individual spending in 2003, it was overruled by the SCOTUS’ Citizen United decision in 2007-2010, and part of the core DNC platform is overturning that, which would ban AIPAC funding entirely for both parties.
If they walked the walk, they’d have an easier time getting elected and staying elected. If they walked the walk, they wouldn’t have let Republicans walk all over them for the past few decades. If they walked the walk, they wouldn’t have allowed the country to inch frighteningly close to fascism.
I’m all for voting for progressives. We need progressives. We need progressives that will actually do progressive things. Sitting here and acting like the current status-quo-loving DNC is actually super progressive because of some bullet points on their website is not going to get us there though.
You can’t simultaneously hold the stances that the system is corrupted by campaign funds and also that people only rationally vote based on candidate’s policies. Those a mutually exclusive beliefs. If everyone voted on policy and not optics via the media and socials, then campaign funding would have zero impact.
Dems platform is amazing, full of necessary reform and life saving changes, and taxing the fucking rich.

The DNC and their platform are progressive.
They may talk the talk, but they don’t walk the walk.
They walk the walk and then a legion of disingenuous assholes claim otherwise all over the media in a bid to dissuade progressive voters.

Serious question - is the DNC paying you to say all this? Is the DNC in the room with you right now?
