    One of them can actually pass policy unfortunately

    Edit: I’m not saying I agree with their policies dumbasses. I want the left to pass policy. But until the left understands how to become politically effective and build coalitions we’re stuck in this quagmire forever

          Republicans without a doubt pass more policies.

          Democrats pass policies that funnel money into corporations, but fail to pass meaningful policy that helps the majority.

          We clearly need different leadership than the Duopoly.

            I’m not doing a good job communicating what I’m trying to say and I take full responsibility.

            To me the Dems are liberals – or republican lite with sprinkle of some progressive social policies.

            I know the left is constrained to building its coalition within the big tent that is the democratic party. But when I look at the way the left goes about building power --especially when looking at the nature of online discourse – I get the sense they are not interested in building effective power or accomplishing their goals. It feels more like verbal mental masturbation 99% of the time.
