    Out of the people in this thread who are complaining about Biden and the Democrats, how many of them have joined the party, organized, and have pushed to make changes from inside the party?

    You know the answer, it’s none of them. Because most of them are here to make sure Trump wins, and the rest are those who are susceptible to that type of propaganda.

    Meanwhile, Democrats push for a two-state solution: https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/01/24/congress/reasserting-the-two-state-solution-00137623

      I mean I actually helped the campaign for several local government positions, including judges and State attorney. When all of those failed I actually tried running for a position myself getting with a “progressive election aid” group who told me I was too poor to run and that they would help me if I had some rich relatives I could reach out to for financial support, and then after that joined a socialist group that fell apart with no action available because there was no available pushback on the government with every position pretty much going to incumbents. I participate in debates. Email and mail my representatives, and participate in rallies.

      I also criticize Biden.

      You are really just saying what you want to think of the people who complain but not actually accepting that everyone is a complex person with their own fucked reasons for anything they do. It might be simple or complex but I doubt even the majority care that they are making Trump win they just want to lament and feel seen. Like everyone else.

      Painting with a broad brush is easy but it misses the details. Individuals pushing against a larger system is going to result in practically nothing but somehow we fail to organize because we don’t get results at the smaller levels.

      You can’t just blame the people who don’t know better, while ignoring that little effort is made to push them back against this apathy. It takes the people who believe in this helping get those voices heard too not just told to shut up and get in line.
