there's good evidence that if Ds had been in power for the past 40 years, the racial wealth gap would no longer exist. also everyone's income improves under D govt, more than under R. the argument that Dems don't help anyone is just false. 1https://twitter.com/rosemcgowan/status/1296655667063861249 …

now, should Ds do more on police brutality, for example? absolutely. lots and lots of ways in which Ds are not doing enough. but "Ds don't do anything so Trump won"—that's false, and dangerous, inasmuch as it misleads people into thinking voting is useless, or into both sides bs.

Democrats dismantled the welfare safety net and created the modern prison system bc Dukakis was made fun of once.

Ds didn't create the modern prison system or dismantle the safety net? there's bipartisan blame for both those things, but it's also clear who's been further to the right on both.

That's a red herring. The Ds are a conservative party who don't share my basic values, much less fight for them. They are also, yes, less far right than the Republicans, though not less far right than the Republicans of my youth.

Everything wrong with the country now was predicted by the left in the 1980s. I remember being a kid and assuming CW must be right in thinking the far left was hysterical in their doom saying. Turned out they were right about everything. We never acknowledge it.
