Democrats don't listen to the people that vote for them too.

excerpts:
'“The narrative here doesn’t exist,” the strategist added. “We need to wake up fast.”
...
“We got a story to tell, just got to tell it,” Obama said as he left the East Room.
...
'Some Democrats are baffled at Biden’s low numbers given what they think is a list of robust accomplishments. They list the coronavirus relief bill passed in March, a bipartisan infrastructure bill and the recent confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson, who will be the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court.'"

I am one of the people that are baffled but I notice a few things about democrats being an independent that votes for them every time ONLY because there is no chance of a progressive party winning. Democrats are weak in a few key areas that are consistently a problem for them. Lets highlight them.

1. When they do something the GOP POUNCES on it being bad. They don't hit back hardly ever. I would like to see some: "Fuck you GOP, what have you done? What are you for?" Nope they just sit there and take it and let the GOP lead the narrative time and time again.
2. The people that VOTE FOR THEM get ignored. I don't get this part about the DNC and who elects them. People want to see those in the insurrection punished, fair elections, and more progress. So the DNC goes more right and makes half the year about what Manchin and Sinema want ALL THE TIME. Then makes it look like since those two cannot agree, NO OTHER DEMOCRAT wants this. I mean regardless if it's true, I don't see Schumer and Pelosi the leaders talk about over and over how they want this.
3. Try writing the DNC and ask them what they are doing on number 2 and you never get an answer EVER.

I vote for the DNC because I don't want Nazi America. But if there was a 3rd party that was progressive that had even a shot at changing things I would never vote DNC. They are the equivalent if you had to pick someone for a baseball team and your choices was Hitler, Mussolini, Ted Bundy, or some weak guy. You begrudingly pick the weak guy hoping this time he will finally fucking try and each time he doesn't try...

Feels like the people fight for them more than they fight for the people. Then the people lose interest, and they are sitting ducks.

Disagree. Infrastructure was close to a trillion dollars on infrastructure that Trump was touting and never did. DNC did that.
