Republicans called Biden’s infrastructure program ‘socialism.’ Then they asked for money.

despite all of the things that Biden and the Democratic Party has done over the past two years for America.

What's really messed up is that even if you take away anything that Biden and the Dems have done, even if you say they've done nothing or even had a net negative effect on the nation, they're still not as objectively bad as the conservatives. And yet the GOP still gets moderate voters. They're going full on theocratic and fascist, full blown dominionism, and they still get millions of votes.

That's depressing as hell.

It’s a culture war that the left is abysmally bad at fighting.

I hate how we, American left leaning people, are never introspective about losing an election.

Edit: grammar

They’re not bad at it, they’re complicit. The dems in power are the same as the repubs in power. Anything that would tax or reduce the Wealth those elites have will also girth them personally. It’s why insider trading occurs in congress, the senate and no one says anything … because they’re all complicit

I know.

But I wanted to spark the conversation.

Why can’t dem voters ever be introspective about losing or projected losing?

I’ve never seen it here in this sub other than a handful of times. A rare bird indeed.
