They are as inspiring and useful as the folded up wet toilet paper you find smashed to the wall behind a shitty dive bar.

On second thought, I feel bad comparing toilet paper to something as useless as the current Democratic leadership

Its time for the Democrat party to fall to the wayside - the people and organization itself is unsalvageable and does not represent the people they claim to represent. This was abundantly clear with the reactions to Mandani - immediate distancing from really standard policies and positions because he wasn't part of the "in" crowd.

They don't care about wealth inequality, social welfare policies, gender, sexual orientation race, and religious equality, or any other baseline remotely progressive, left, or even liberal policy.

Do you idiots not see how far Chuck's glasses are down? Catastrophic.

If some Panama papers type thing came out and showed they were paid opposition I'd actually breathe a sigh of relief because at least then I'd know why they were so god damned useless.
