The Democratic Party is terrified of even small liberal reforms and will not abide left leaning democrats thwarting their plans for austerity and neoliberal orthodoxy.
they are going to hold trump to account… and by that i mean they are going to have never ending hearings as a giant circus, so they can do mostly the same things the republicans do with everyone distracted. but trump will never see prison time, neither will any of his people. ultimately they answer to the same people.
and then the next election they will claim it’s not the time for change, because the republican canidate would be the worse person ever, so they need to field more centrist democrats. and all the rightward slide we have suffered through will be solidified under their rule. just like last time
Remember Operation Paperclip? America imported Nazi scientists post World War II after we made a big show of punishing them in the Nuremberg tribunals, but that’s all it was, a show.
Actually thinking even more recently, Merrick Garland endlessly delayed trying Trump for his endless crimes during Biden’s time in office, then the Supreme Court ruled that the president essentially has unlimited power, so long as it’s a vaguely defined “official act” (and as long as it’s a Republican president).

Problem is they know they’ll face no consequences for not doing that. Like the worst that’ll happen is conservatives go back into power in 2028 with maybe a Dem president. Libs can go back to just ranking in donation money and telling everyone that the 2030 election is the most important one of our lifetimes or the 2032 one. What a few peaceful protests that last a weekend at most every few months will change their minds?
I promise you that—from the perspective of what the Democrats claim to stand for—they’re going to waste it, because they don’t actually stand for what they claim to.
You’re about to vote for a Democratic Party that doesn’t exist.
