Sure. Whenever Biden is criticized for lack of action and weak-ass attempts at making anything better, we're told "the president isn't a king and he actually doesn't have much power to do anything so you can't criticize him!" Whenever someone talks about voting third party it's "you're scum that supports facism. Voting third party is the same as voting Republican. If Trump gets reelected, he'll single handedly destroy the country and take away our freedoms and it'll be all your fault."

This is horseshit and neither party deserves to be in power in this country as neither one has done a god damned thing but milk us for our labor and wealth and keep us fed with bullshit to bicker over with each other.

The reason why Trump got elected, the supreme court got a 6-3 conservative majority, and things like Roe v Wade were overturned is because of people like Clinton and the Democratic leadership being so shitty that a reality TV host and known conman seemed more appealing to enough of the population. Continuing to vote the same way every election and expecting anything to change is absolutely insane.

With the Republican party being so vile, the only thing Democratic politicians need to do to keep your vote is just be marginally less evil and use the proper buzzwords and terminology to make you think they're on your side. They have absolutely zero incentive to rock the boat and actually fix anything because that might mean they can't retain power over at least 50% of the government at any given time.
