Lazycat AJ @lazyaj.bsky.social · 13hHalf the Dems are totally fine with most of Trump's economic policies. Corporate Dems actively sabotage the better part of their party's efforts to "staunch the bleeding". Even if the GOP gets clobbered there needs to be a political revolution in the Dem party for it to stick. 131
