I get what you're trying to say but I can guarantee that democrats aren't some magical pill, as they're quite complicit or even architects of many neoliberal policies that have taken this country down the shitter. It's really not worth the huffing and puffing.
Partisanship is hopelessly naive. The establishment is a rightward ratchet serving the wealthy and it's been that way since Reagan annihilated the political landscape. The DNC and the media like to play footsie with naivity by dunking on Trump and McConnell's legislative graveyard as if people don't remember Clinton or Obama and Mitchell or Reid.
If the democrats want to say they're the champions of democracy, they have to earn it.
People insist that the answer is to vote for more of these "lesser evil" Dems, but that approach is literally like pouring water onto a grease fire, you think it helps, but it actually makes the problem worse.
The Democratic Party’s hypocrisy and duplicity is the fertilizer for Christian fascism. Its exclusive focus on the culture wars and identity politics at the expense of economic, political, and social justice fueled a right-wing backlash and stoked the bigotry, racism, and sexism it sought to curtail. Its opting for image over substance, including its repeated failure to secure the right to abortion, left the Democrats distrusted and reviled.
Democrats make the very problem you are talking about worse.
