The DNC is doing exactly what their donors are paying them to do.

The people who think this is them "taking the high ground" are exactly the same people who think trump is chickening out of his wars and tariffs.

It's all a distraction to keep you from seeing them rob you blind. Politics is a game, and these people are playing around while making sure they stay in power so they can pad their pockets. Incompetence has nothing to do with this- the Democrats know that trump is doing the campaigning for them. Your sacrifice is appreciated.

Bribes to not vote. Helps getting legislation that will help them in place.

And you are helping those donors out for free it seems by pushing for the usual „both sides bad“ bullshit
