Democrats Deserve to be Hated
Fake allies who roadblock the left, disillusion progressive voters, and anger the populace for feeling tricked. They deserve every ounce of hate.

Republicans vs Democrats:
We all know how awful and disgustingly immoral the Republican Party is, everyone with relatively progressive values understands that. We know there are no allies within the Republican leadership or its political candidates.
However this doesn’t make the Democrats better, in fact time and time again we’ve seen Democrats be similar or exactly the same. Be it from bailing out corporations, exerting their militaristic and geopolitical influence upon other nations, overthrowing foreign governments, not assisting disaster victims, protecting police brutality, protecting systemic racism, promoting xenophobic hatred against rival nations, and much more.
The issue isn’t that the Republicans are worse, it’s that enough study shows both parties are equally evil & corrupt, yet one of them repeatedly tries to market itself as our ally. An ally for workers, progressive values, left ideals; this is far from the truth.
Anyone who’s been following my writing for a bit knows I have a deep hatred for the Democrats. I, like many, fell for the trap in my youth that the Democrats was on my side, only to quickly realize the opposite. The Democrats don’t get hate because “everyone’s secretly a conservative.” The Democrats get hate because people feel betrayed and lied to by an organization full of corporate war hawks no different than their supposed “opposition.” We don’t expect that the party that arrogantly and incorrectly calls itself “left” to backstab us and lie to us about its objectives. Yet, that’s exactly what the Democrats do.

From “Voting Kamala Isn’t Going to Save You” read by clicking the highlighted title.
Parties that receive huge annual donations from, basically, the majority of the economy, are not going to represent the interests of the common individual. To argue otherwise shows a lack of knowledge in human psychology and political affiliations. Human beings naturally will be more biased to, or invested towards, those who benefit them most. This is why manipulators are so traumatizing because they can give and take, creating an unhealthy dependency in victims that they crave. When a political party is funded heavily by major entities, it means there is an expectation and gain that both involved are aiming to achieve; and when you have corporations making multi-million dollar donations to a party yearly, it means that organization has repeatedly pushed policies or actions that benefited that company, and in turn the party benefited in ways from the corporation. This means these parties are not ignorant or victims, but active business partners to these companies.
Political parties, if they’re going to represent the people, should not be funded by corporations but the people themselves.
However the sad fact that everyone in establishment politics will say behind closed doors is “politics is a business.” This is why senators, presidents, governors, etc. often leave office 5x richer than when they went in and with 5x the amount of political & corporate connections.
The Ratchet Effect:
The ratchet effect is a concept in sociology and economics illustrating how the Republicans in offices push policies and legislation that moves the country more further right and how the Democrats in office don’t challenge the nation-wide move to the right.
From this understanding of modern politics, it makes the most sense given the last 30 years. It’s easy to think otherwise if you approach politics from a social political understanding, as what is often promoted in political media. But the reality is politics is far more than simply social issues, it is largely economic & geopolitical. It is this misrepresentation of American politics as “largely social” that leads to:
The overhyped culture wars we’ve seen over the years from focus on certain issues.
The avoidance from both parties to address serious financial problems among working class communities.
Polarization of the masses into inter-divided political groups and extremism.
Political slander and mugslinging on politicians, labeling them as “socialist” or “communist,” scaremongering people into avoiding voting for them or their policies.
Attacking members of your own party for being “too far left” as we saw with Bernie, AOC, Ilhan Omar, etc. Despite these people are Social Democrats.
People originally thought this was taking place because of the Democrats stubborn loyalty to bipartisanism, challenging the Republicans and conceding ground after their next push to the right. I oppose that concept. Given what was said earlier about corporate donors and treating politics like a business, I firmly believe the reason Democrats lock any movement back to the left is because that’s part of the plan. I believe the Democrats are not simply just receiving donations but have planned with the wealthiest groups in America where they want to see America trend in the near future. It’s really not that crazy of a thought, given the fact that powerful financial and political forces worked together before to overthrow a sitting president and institute a fascist government in 1933. The last 30 years have shown a terrifying trend of America becoming more imperialistic, more invasive into people’s privacy, more suppressive of opposition groups, more militaristic with law enforcement, more corrupt with publicly acknowledged corporate donations, psychological warfare media, and supremacist. I’ve wrote on the topic of America moving towards fascism where I’ve highlighted historical events to current events; but with the current trend of American politics, to me at least, it appears clear that the Democrats aren’t opposition to fascism or even mentally unaware enablers of fascism, but active participants.
Sabotage of Third Parties:
As of the 2024 election cycle, we see the repeat of sabotage towards third parties by the Democrats.
Two political parties running in 2024, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and the Green Party, both have had their candidates kicked off ballots in a few states by the Democrats using law suits. The Democrats blew almost half of their budget just trying to get them kicked off as many ballots as possible, only to fail in the long run. This blatant attempt to undermine parties that others might take interest in is not only a clear example of voter suppression, no different from Republican voter suppression, but is an obvious example of Democrats suppressing any Left politics from becoming mainstream.
Democrat loyalists have arrogantly argued “well these third parties are only stealing votes from Democrats.” A bold face lie and misunderstanding of politics & voters. The reality is 70% of those who prioritize voting are elderly, many of them super voters (people who never miss a vote and vote Republican or Democrat every election).
Keep in mind that 75% of the total population, which is 250 million, are eligible to vote. However only 60-67% of that 75% actually votes, at least based on the 2020 election. Which in numbers means only 150 million to 167 million actually votes consistently. Additionally 49% (was 40% 3 years ago) of nation-wide eligible voters regard themselves as independent. That means not only does almost half the country’s voters not vote or prioritize voting, but they also are not pleased by either party, while those who vote consistently are often times fully loyal to their political party. To sabotage a third party despite they have plenty of voters and wouldn’t really be taking yours, means you don’t want to share the stage. Not to mention this recent 2024 election is during a time of a genocide taking place in the Middle East by our ally, which many voters, Muslim, pro-Palestine and Left wing, have came out and said that will affect their votes.
The Democrats could have saved those lost votes with an arms embargo on Israel and moving to pressure the Zionist regime and lobby, except they did the exact opposite. With the blatant loyalty to Zionism, little assistance to hurricane victims, sabotaging third parties, and blatant war mongering of rival nations; Any votes that was lost for the Democrats is no one’s fault except the Democrats.
Conclusion:
The Democrats are no friend to the Left. They’re no friend to the working class. They’re no friend to oppressed minorities. They’re a party owned by corporations and wealthy people who are active contributors to America’s trend towards fascism.
The Democrats deserve every single ounce of hate, they deserve to be subverted along with the Republicans.
If they’re going to continue to ignore or even attack us for our criticisms, as they act like money hungry war criminals, then we’ll show them what a third party actually subverting them looks like.
