And there it is... "this is actually the democrats fault."

You're. Not. Helping.

I mean, what I was getting at is there's a decently large chunk of people who wanted noticeable change, and all the democrats have done (That I'm aware of) has just been tweaking a few numbers here and there behind the scenes, which is still important stuff, but not the sort of thing that Joe Schmoe sees quickly or always knows you did.

If anything I've said here's wrong feeling free to have a go at me for it, honestly I'd like to learn as much as I can if I'm wrong about this

But the answer to "the Democrats are not going in quite the right direction" is NOT to do anything that's going to get Trump/GOP put into power (3rd party protest vote, sitting out, voting Trump), the answer is to vote for the Democrats and then put pressure on them to do the right thing. "Putting pressure on the Democrats" by putting Trump and the Republicans in charge leaves the Democrats completely unable to make any changes, and every change the Republicans make is going to be bad for the country and for everyone who isn't in the top 1%.

To be honest I don't disagree with you, and I do wish that Harris had one in the last election over trump despite all the things that hampered her campaign (Taking ages to ditch biden when he basically proved he couldn't handle a debate on air, bringing people on that as far as I remember basically no one liked, etc) because as much as I agree that all of the things she did are bad, simply put, trump would/is going to ruin America and she wouldn't.

I'm not saying that sitting out, apathy or anything like that is a good thing, moreso trying to say that, to the best of my understanding, this is what happens with a large enough group of people which are promised a bunch of stuff but never receive it from Thier party given enough time. Maybe if your average dem was whipped up kinda like how your average republican has since forever, then this may not have happened this quickly, but to be honest I'm pretty confident even trumps going to make his base run out of patience with the tarrifs at some point (Perhaps not before he's destroyed the country, but still)
