The biggest threat to the left and any kind of change for the better is not the Republicans. No, it is the Democrats. Blaming Republicans for being horrible is like blaming shit for stinking. It's shit. It stinks. It's what it does. The reason the USA is turning into such a shithole right now is because the Democrats didn't flush the toilet when they had the chance. That's because their entire reason for existence is protecting the donor class. Democrats know who their enemy is and it's not the Republicans. It's the left. Sadly, there are still a lot of liberal sheep out there who are still under the mistaken impression that the Democrats are their allies or that the DNC can be reformed.

At least with Republicans in office, there is a clear enemy. Democrats are the smiling "friend" who gains your trust then stabs you in the back. Until enough people figure that out, the shit in the bowl will remain unflushed.
