You're not criticizing though... you're just making ridiculously vague accusations.

If you were criticizing you'd be saying something much more useful.

I am criticizing. It's been well known before and while Democrats were in office that corporate lobbying was an issue, which is largely what has gotten us here today. What did they do about it? Being less vague and pointing out certain issues is only going to get me downvoted even more because it's going to sound like I'm actively trying to slander them. Obviously the Democrats have done good things and are a far cry from this shitty Republican administration but it's hilarious that no one on here thinks that the democratic party has done next to nothing to fix some of the biggest issues in our government, because they're benefitting from it also. I'm still voting for Democrats but you guys are ridiculous if you think they're looking to fix the system or do everything they can to protect citizens. If the Dems win, see if they pull flock cameras and ALPRs or many other things.... I hope they do, but they won't. See if they stop building AI data centers and PROPERLY subsidize the utilities. Money talks.

Slander is lies... if you don't lie... it's not slander...

What did they do about it?

Introduced legislation to regulate it that Republicans shot down? Democrats have put forward tons of bills to stop things like this that Republicans shoot down...

but it's hilarious that no one on here thinks that the democratic party has done next to nothing to fix some of the biggest issues in our government

They don't have the political power to do so cuz people don't vote for them enough. You need basically a super majority in both houses to get anything done these days. Also we don't control the SCOTUS so anything the legislature does the SCOTUS can undo.

I'm still voting for Democrats but you guys are ridiculous if you think they're looking to fix the system or do everything they can to protect citizens.

You're just displaying your emotional thinking and ignorance of how Democrats work. Are they perfect? No, of course not. But if you're gonna make criticisms, make ones that are actually legitimate.

Ok, so these are my perceived issues with the Democrats. You say these days you need a super majority to get anything done, but how about for the last 20-50 years? the Democrats never had enough majority to make those changes that I mentioned? How did Republicans get all the power they have now to do whatever they want? And why is there no ability to keep them in check? Are you saying the Dems had literally no way to prevent this? Or would this have hindered there own party in some capacity, so they didn't do it? Those are actual questions, not something I'm claiming to be fact. And again, we'll see if they take away ALPRs and manage data centers but we both know that money talks and the Dems aren't immune from being swayed by the almighty dollar. Whether we want it or not.

Also, I think my criticisms are valid. Whether the Democrats have the ability to get it done is one thing, but my criticisms are certainly valid. I really hope they get back into power but when they do, I hope people continue to be critical of them and hold them accountable.

Have you tried answering these questions yourself?

How did Republicans get all the power they have now to do whatever they want?

Propaganda? Fox News? Christians? This is super complex question you're asking and expect the answer to just be Democrats somehow?

And why is there no ability to keep them in check?

Do we have the votes to do so?

Are you saying the Dems had literally no way to prevent this?

I think it's on you to suggest a way they could have...

Those are actual questions

Why are you asking them to me instead of stating the answers you've already discovered? Your ignorance is incredible considering the things you're saying.

And again, we'll see if they take away ALPRs and manage data centers but we both know that money talks and the Dems aren't immune from being swayed by the almighty dollar. Whether we want it or not.

Give them a chance to do something first before binning them?

Also, I think my criticisms are valid.

I kinda assumed this...

Whether the Democrats have the ability to get it done is one thing, but my criticisms are certainly valid.

"They don't have the power to do what I want them to but my criticisms of them not doing what I want them to do are still valid." is not very logical to me.

I really hope they get back into power but when they do, I hope people continue to be critical of them and hold them accountable.

That I can agree with. Let's hold off on criticism until they actually do something that we can criticize?
