The US has no functional Left party. The "centrism" that the Dems keep pushing for is racist, sexist, queerphobic, transphobic and militaristic. Newsom is doing a *great* job of showing that off.

This. The supposed "center" that the Democrats keep working towards is racist, sexist, queerphobic, transphobic, and continues to hold up the Reagan era as the model they want to go back to. The few genuinely left leaning Dems are repeatedly silenced by the leaders of the Party.

Ultimately we need to stop using the word "trust" when it comes to politicians. I think that's part of what got us here. Politicians need to be watched constantly. They're not friends, they're employees who can easily burn the kitchen down.

86 Democrats just voted to "condemn the horrors of socialism". Maybe time to start blaming Democrats again?
