    I'm at the point where I don't think the dems are incompetent, they are willfully and maliciously controlled opposition.

    Like, you can't honestly have this bad of political instincts to think that saying "the president wants to stop this bill that will give you $600 because he wants to give you $2000, fuck him" and think that anyone outside of the most dedicated liberal sycophants won't see you as the bad guys. Seriously!

      No you see the headline is trump is stopping covid relief bill. That's what's plastered on the bottom of the screen. Trump is literally injecting covid into your eyeballs then curb stomping you

      the thing about the DNC is that they didn't pick their constituency. They are exactly what the Republican party would be like if the Dems had managed to stick them with the black, latino & poor vote by doing the Southern Strategy first. They are the exact same party but with a different voting base and the DNC fucking despises their constituency, even more than the GOP does. The dems want racist whites so badly, you can tell by how hard they try to pander to them whenever they think they have a chance

      It’s win win for him. He looks good outflanking Dems and republicans on the left, solidifying his base for 2024.

      If they go for it, trump did that, but they won’t. Which means no $600, but”he tried!” And if they go back to the drawing board with more they can sneak more ALEC shit in there.

      There is no losing scenario for trump in the specific situation.

      Bro you're on a socialist website and you're realizing this now? All political parties with any power in all capitalist nations represent the interests of the ruling class. Yes, including AOC, Bernie etc.

        Obviously I understand that they are a bourgeoisie party. I meant that they aren't a different party at all. I thought that, at some level (mind you most of this belief was pre-super Tuesday, ive been at about 10% since then) they were still interested in at least, ya know, winning occasionally. But I just can't believe they are anything but a fake party to just be something that isn't a republican at this point.

          Well, they are different, don't believe that McConnell and Pelosi have some kinda neural synch going on in the basement of the Capitol. It's just that they're generals and footsoldiers in a bourgeois conflict that doesn't really concern us directly. The bourgeoisie disagree on shit all the time, they did WWI because of an intra-bougie conflict. The parties themselves treat winning more like winning a chess game, something desirable but not necessary.
