maybe if Democrats actually did stuff to make every day citizens lives better

$150 billion student loan forgiveness, first big action in climate change ever in US history, CHIPS act, infrastructure act, huge increase in corporate taxes to fund all that stuff, activists in charge of NLRB which gave fuel to all these union gains we've seen in recent years, recovery from covid like it never happened which basically no other first world country was able to do, gain in wages for low-income workers even adjusted for fairly massive inflation, medical debt off credit reports, net neutrality, plus also obviously not the end of democracy in the US is a nice bonus

(Not to say it isn't a problem the Democrats' general level of money-in-politics corruption, or their willingness to continue dogshit US policies like support for Israel. Both of those are massive problems. But saying that they don't do anything to make everyday citizens' lives better is, at least for the last few years, absolutely objectively false.)

The main problem isn't anything about what the Democrats actually do. It's that the priorities of the people who own the news, and the bots that run social media influence campaigns, are not at all aligned with those every day citizens, and so nobody even knows that any of that big list even happened.
