Democrats are like herding cats. Good luck on that.

Will Rogers said something along the lines of "I don't belong to any organized political party. I'm a Democrat".

But that was 90 years ago.

Now, Dems can be as blind is MAGA. From two years ago.

OPINION: “Vote blue no matter who” has a chokehold on American democracy

Critics may say I am relinquishing my voice, but I would argue that it wasn’t heard in the first place. The values I have are not amplified by any candidate. Biden is an opportunist who runs his campaign on being the lesser of two evils, making empty promises and wiping his shoes with them. Rather than hold him accountable, so-called progressives suffocate their movement by “voting blue no matter who.” As much as Biden would deny it, he and Donald Trump are two heads on the same oligarchic snake.

My grandmother was able to have conversations across party lines; many of her closest friends were conservative. They would discuss politics on her deck, a cigarette in one hand and a cup of tea in the other. Now, that line of communication has been strategically cut. The Democrats and Republicans benefit from a divided public because it is easier to conquer. They rotate in and out of office, undoing the policies of their predecessor. They never pursue real reformation because they don’t work for the system, it works for them.
