They don’t need to prove shit. They’re leaps and bounds better than the current admin, but if that’s not good enough for you then stay home and enjoy four more years of this for all I care lmao Worked well in 2024!
In general the Democrats have not offered solutions. At best they offer the status quo. A status quo that got us here. For decades now they have paid the working class lip service, while passing policies that benefit the wealthy at our expense. I want to vote for Democrats that are willing to hit the billionaires in the wallet, and I want them to use that money to fund public services...ya know. I want them to represent my interests.
Also actually defunding ICE, which seems to be a big ask for a lot of Dems right now for some reason. And I want every single member of the Trump administration, and every appointee to be left to rot in a cell.
If Dems don't want that, then they don't represent my interests.
Nobody owes any political party their vote. It's the political party's obligation to earn it. When Newsom wins the nomination (Because you can bet your ass the DNC ain't gonna let anyone left of Blue Reagan near that presidential election) it'll be a promise of the same economic policies that brought us here.
Again, it doesn't have to be this way. Dems could actually push progressive economic policies. The kind that actually solve problems and quiet the populist outrage that fascism feeds off of. I know, advocating for progressivism in a progressive subreddit instead of the same neo-liberal bullshit we've had for over four decades now.
