I've found that people who keep repeating that all democrats are the same (and are apparently Nazis now, too) don't actually pay attention to what any of them say. Because while probably half of them fit the typical corporate Democrat description, most of them are often speaking out on things daily.

The problem is that the Democrats are so ideologically diverse they essentially encompass 2 or 3 political parties. They are only together because the Republicans are so batshit that they need to unite against them. People say that the democrats suck and they are 2/3 correct, but because the Repubs are so much worse we are stuck voting for politicians who are milquetoast at best and "moderate Republicans" at worst.

People on the coasts don’t understand that if you go too far left you’ll lose too many voters in the middle of the country. Those “bad” democrats are often faithfully doing what democratic voters in their area want or will tolerate. This is how a democracy should function.

The problem is that what would be considered almost the entire political spectrum in some countries is consolidated into a single party in the US, with no real option for even voicing dissatisfaction with that one party because our voting system makes any other vote a vote for batshit insanity.
