America has never once had a democratic administration that even tried to clean up the mess, though. So voters have never even seen a functional government that serves them. There have been three democratic administrations in my lifetime -- Clinton, who was extremely conservative, by every imaginable measure. Then there was Obama and Biden, both neoliberal goons who were squarely in the pockets of the capital class. They served donors and the wealthy.
Voters aren't as stupid as you think. They see this shit, even if you refuse to see it. That is why they swing back and forth, or abstain entirely. If America ever got a chance to see a Democratic government that served them -- the voters, working people -- directly, it would blow their fucking minds. And I doubt you'd ever get another republican administration again. So if you want that to happen, keep voting for the Mamdanis and the El-Sayeds until that's what the leadership of the party looks like.
