I think you're misunderstanding what the democrats and especially the DNC are in our political system in the current moment. They are people actively working to put giant targets on their own backs. If you want to end the democratic party the easiest thing you can do is elect them. The republican party is actively encouraging assassinating and jailing them.
They don't understand the media, they don't understand politics, they barely understand money and are constantly outmaneuvered by shit for brains republicans like trump.
At this point its not even about lesser evils. Democrats could go further right on every single issue than republicans and they would still be reviled by the right because they absolutely will never understand how entrenched the media is against them.
I think you can't make a single comment without gaslighting.
The only response to any of that is the one part where I politely poked your ego?
If you want further engagement, try not gaslighting. I'm not going to continue to reward your abuse with participation on your terms.
