And if that doesn't work, they adopt Republican talking points and pivot to attacking that group themselves. Which obviously doesn't help as it shows fear and vulnerability. The Republicans just amp up their attacks even more.

The cliche used to be that Democratic leaders hate their base, Republican leaders fear their base.

I'd be satisfied with Democratic leaders fearing the base.

The problem is Conservative Democrats, which the party leadership is most composed of.

They're the same people who will tell us unity is more important than accountability and change. The same people who will try to work with Trump's MAGA Nazi Pedophiles supporters, by compitulating, and claim it is what is best for the country.

Then there is us, we the people, who at our heart mostly value progressive values and morals, who want accountability and change. The things the leadership will sacrifice everything and call that a "compromise".

This is why our country keeps getting worse. It is why some people will argue both sides are the same, because how we get there and by want means may vary, but we still go down that dark path to that dark place, we never wanted to go.

We can end this cycle. New York City has the right idea. Stop supporting the leadership and actually vote for real progressives.

Nothing will change for the poor, marginalized people in America or globally unless the system is rebirth from the ground up with true democratic participation and principles.
A pseudo democracy that was designed to protect the interests of the elite will only ever do that.
Doesn't matter what colour or party. The system is toxic, oppressive, corrupt and inept.

www.foodpantries.org

It sorts by state then city and they usually have details about the hours and qualifications (if any) for each pantry.

If you’re near a lot of them & you have a car you can make rounds to make up for the fact that they usually limit how often people can come.

I felt so scammed. And it only got worse from there. It was like two months later that he decided people had to go to work with active contagious Covid because the airlines wanted it. It was then that I didn’t think I would survive four years of that and now I don’t know how I’m going to survive four years of this.

Whenever someone would try to tell me that the dems made their whole campaign about protecting trans people first I ask them who did, because I am genuinely surprised to hear this. Then I point out that the dems wouldn’t have to keep bringing up trans rights if the right wasn’t obsessed with eliminating trans people.

I would love to see a brief compilation of all the times Kamala talked about fighting for trans people because I don’t remember any (doesn’t mean it didn’t happen-I have brain fog and I smoke weed) and I would love to see it.

Something disturbing I have noticed in my state government (NH) is that the far left dems either side with republicans A LOT or they fight for trans people. It’s like there’s a small portion of dem reps who side with republicans against trans people & those republicans support their stuff. Our state house is like a high school full of cliques.

And if you want them to fix anything Trump, et al. have done, their opposition is going to have to be more than just tone policing Trump's social media account.

People WANT Democrats to be loud, rude, and angry on their behalf.

True this. Its also performative and they support capitalist and authoritarian policies, while pretending to lose. Such as the framing of universal healthcare, while ignoring progressive liberals' push for single payer, but beginning with backroom dialogue with insurance companies.
