A newly released survey underscores that "Americans have a solid grasp of the highly unequal concentration of wealth in the United States—and they think it's rotten."
Well to be fair they also know democrats only say they will fix the issue and then immediately do the same things the republicans do because they just cannot do without that sweet corporate cheddar.
I figure their logic is that at least the republicans are honest about it.
I missed the part where the Democrats were cutting social security, Medicare, and Medicaid. And repealing the ACA. And attacking LGBTQ people. And deploying the military against American civilians. And sending people to foreign gulags en mass without trial. And attacking voting rights.
While you are 100% correct, the Dems could definitely fight much harder to get what they claim they want. My son, and his friends, all felt betrayed when Biden’s college loan forgiveness program was shot down, and they just said “Oh well,” and dropped the subject, rather than fight for another way. They felt they had been lied to for their vote, and when they were told they couldn’t have loan forgiveness just before the 2024 election, you can see why they weren’t real thrilled to be voting for the guy who wouldn’t help them, but would gladly help Netanyahu commit genocide.
If only the Dems were as committed to forcing their agenda through as they are to having one of their ancient, old school, neo-liberal losers as president. That seems to be all they really care about.

I don’t totally disagree with your premise, but the fact is that they didn’t just say oh well and drop the subject. They proceeded to use other statutory authority and forgave a shitload of loans, even after the incredibly stupid scotus ruling. They tried the big thing, got shot down, and then tried a bunch of little things that worked for a lot of people. Bidens biggest mistake there was respecting a SCOTUS decision, which shouldnt hold any weight until we remove the traitors currently sitting on the court.
That was what Trump campaigned on wasn’t it? So contrary to democrats who usually don’t deliver in their promises Trump can at least says that he tries damn hard to deliver on his promises.
I know this will be conflated to me being supportive of what he does. So let me clarify that I’m not endorsing it, I’m just stating the fact that Trump goes so far as to break the law in order to deliver his promises, while democrats work really hard to maintain the status quo even while having legal and political power to make real change. This is part of his appeal, a detail which should not be lost on democrats.

We’re pretty much in agreement here. I simply disagree that Democrats do the same things as Republicans when in office. While I may vehemently disagree with most of their strategy, the Democratic party isnt nearly as big of a threat as the GOP.
Only Alaska has federal ranked choice voting and a Republican tried to repeal it., so I give you that one.
But check out the https://patrioticmillionaires.org/ site. I don’t think either party are interested in that (except maybe for Bernie, AOC and Warren - which I admit would make Dems slightly better).
Dems downvoting you are ignoring why Trump won. At their peril.
[Edit: I see in a later comment that you clarified and people here do get it.]
Dems laugh at his meandering speech but the MAGA’s appreciate he is not scripted and one actually can understand what he is on about. It looks demented on paper but it is actually how a lot of people speak. You don’t need to complete your sentence if you have got the message across . MAGA think we are stupid for getting confused with our comprehension.
In the GOP primaries he mocked his competitors on stage saying that he has given many donations to politicians and the favours will be returned, even the ones on stage with him. MAGA loved the openness of the corruption.
What I don’t get is why they thought he would “drain the swamp”?

Yep, they sure are the same.

Same thing in terms of being bought by lobbyists (although Elon’s influence is unprecedented).
Same thing in terms of refusing to reform one of the worst voting systems on the planet.
Same in terms of insider trading (Trump is more blatant and doesn’t mind if he tanks the economy in the process).
Same in terms of ignoring https://patrioticmillionaires.org/
They are literally not as bad as the GOP on all of those issues, and you even pointed that out on half of them.
I stand by my point.

I can’t help but wonder if some thought it couldn’t get worse for them personally so they wanted to see the whole system crash and burn.
If you can’t tell the difference between Biden and Trump, then you need to quit sniffing glue.
I know it, do low information voters know it? They are the ones that decide who wins.

That’s the narrative pushed by Russia anyway.
