The Republican base is angry, too. Everybody’s angry.
Our parties are not concerned, they are making a FORTUNE. Openly, they don’t even bother to hide it any longer.
The base isn’t the same as the mogul constituents that the Democratic leadership cares about.
I think most angry democrats are actually looking for the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America).
Here is their platform:
To be clear, for those reading, the DSA is structured as a party and could act as an independent party if necessary, but they mainly run candidates in democratic primaries as they recognize that doing so is a more practical way to win elections in the short term.
Sounds like an attitude problem in the electorate. Do they want republicans to win? It is selfish to think that politicians should earn your vote. I mean, that’s some elementary school level conception of democracy. Grow up already.
It would be an astounding change in policy if they were.
Betteridge’s law of headlines strikes again
Has it ever?
Depends on how much that particular person in the base is giving them.
The DNC official platform document says it wants to:
- Tax the Rich
- Remove citizens united
- Make voting easier
- Prevent climate disaster
- Protect forests
- Give everyone food and medical and expand affordable housing and transport
So, I mean, they understand what I am angry about. Only policy I wish they were better about would be dropping support of Israel but even on that they are infinitely better than GOP policy.
I think you are exagerating the platform quite a bit, or just seeing what you want to.

It says get to a fair tax code where the rich pay their share, and they equate it directly to taxxing them as much as the lower class is taxed. Thats barely “tax the rich” at all.
-
It never mentions citizens united anywhere in their platform.
-
It doesnt talk about making voting easier. It rambles on kissing Bidens arse a lot and then talks about restoring voting rights Trump took away.
-
I give the dems a “c” on climate change. They talk about a few specifics, after talking about energy independence and jobs. And once again, the whole party platform is written to emphasize Bidens weak-ass contributions and paint him as transformative.
-
Do a search on forests. Where are they promising to work on forests in there?
-
It doesnt specify food or medical care for all anywhere. Biden was never in favor of medicare for all, and neither is the DNC. They want to slightly expand medicaid by giving states slightly more funding, and offer “'affordable” care to all via Obamacare. Letting people buy in a marketplace is not the same as giving everyone medical care, and your shortening it to that wildly oversells what the platform doc says.
And it doesnt talk about giving everyone food. I dont know where you got that from.
-
Actions speak louder than words. They’re happy to say they will do things that they have no intention of actually following through on while just doing a slightly less terrible version of a republican policy.
I wish they were better about would be dropping support of Israel but even on that they are infinitely better than GOP policy.
Curious about what you think the difference is?
Fun fact, the DNC have had 48 or less senators for over 13 years, but I agree that the many social, foreign affairs, and fiscal accomplishments of the DNC go vastly underreported.
I wish they were better about would be dropping support of Israel but even on that they are infinitely better than GOP policy.
Curious about what you think the difference is?
-
Vote records where GOP show up as a monolith for Israel while the DNC does not.
-
Biden admin officials saying peace is the goal. Pete Hegseth making an official statement that “death or exodus” is the goal. Large bombs withheld by the Biden Admin were deliveres under Trump according to Trump, and tanks enterred West Bank for the first time in decades.

Countless charts like this:
Thank you for providing evidence you only care about optics and still think Biden did anything to slow or oppose the genocide.
Also weird you are using a chart that isn’t accurate.
The Gaza Mortality Survey (GMS), a population-representative household study published in The Lancet Global Health, estimated 75,200 “violent deaths” between October 7, 2023 and January 5, 2025. This figure represents approximately 3.4 percent of Gaza’s pre-conflict 2.2 million population and sits 34.7 percent higher than the 49,090 “violent deaths” reported by the MoH for the same period.
The Gaza Health Ministry estimates that as of February 16, at least 72,063 people have been killed since the start of the war. Of those, 603 people have been killed since the declaration of a “ceasefire” in the Gaza Strip on October 10, 2025.
Israel has consistently questioned the ministry’s figures, but an Israeli army official told journalists in the country in January that the army accepted that about 70,000 people had been killed in Gaza during the war.
Or even the people in Biden administrations flat out saying it https://www.npr.org/2025/08/28/nx-s1-5515620/israel-gaza-biden-famine
What they told was a story of strong, sometimes bitter arguments within the administration on how far the U.S. was willing to go to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to allow more aid into Gaza. U.S. officials were left frustrated by hours-long, heated exchanges with their Israeli counterparts.
Thank you for supporting my argument? Not sure why you would link that when it directly opposes your statements.

Then we will force them to pay attention
we need to force them to listen to us, by any means necessary
Yeah, but will we this time?
No.
George W. Bush stood alongside Obama at the opening of the latter’s Presidential library instead of swinging from the gallows back in '08, which is what needed to happen if we were to save America.
Instead, we’re fucked. The Dems ain’t listening.
