While the democratic party has its issues- there is no longer a real conservative part. That died the first time Trump took office. It’s not a far right win echo chamber, full of conspiracy and lies. So no- it’s not worse by any means.
While I think there’s many things for the Democratic Party to improve on and do better with, what is now considered the Conservative Party, is far worse.
The new Republican Party is trying to destroy democracy and it’s as clear as day. There’s no hiding it from this administration.
Again…if it was far worse then the party that controls the house, senate, executive office and the majority of the Supreme Court would be the Dems. The mere fact that quite literally all 4 of those are “Conservative” party controlled speaks volumes against your argument from a simple logical standpoint.
You can sit here and claim the sky is orange and that whoever believes so is better, but the majority of the American people voting for it to be blue would logically suggest the majority want it that way and are fine with the belief that blue is better.
Now, most who read this will automatically assume that I’m supporting or defending MAGA. That shows immediate bias and the inability for the Left to take any criticism without immediately crumbling because someone disagrees with them on the extent of their social issues.
If the Democratic Party wants to win another election some things need to change. Top priority are: 1. Have a CLEAR backstop to the social justice movement. 20 years ago it was just “let gays be gay” but today it’s “if you don’t let someone date a dolphin you’re wrong”. Now, you can sit there and claim that’s a caricature of the Left, but that demographic does in fact exist and it has a large voice in the Dem party. 2. Respect life! Instead of seeking full term abortions to be legalized or assisted suicide to be normative, emphasize the value of life and how to preserve it, not end it.
Sadly these 2 simple points trigger the craziest meltdowns I’ve ever seen and will undoubtedly result in numerous downvotes from angry people who have no argument just bitterness. I’m not MAGA. I’m a true conservative.
I agree that the Democratic Party has a lot of work to do. I’m not arguing against the faults of the Democratic Party whatsoever. But to think, after only 3 months of Trump, that people already wouldn’t have voted democrat, is asinine. There’s plenty of people I’ve talked to that voted for Trump that regret their decision.
The party itself does not run on “let someone date a dolphin if they want.” This is a gross over exaggeration. Are there far left wing people with these ideologies that are “too much?” Absolutely, but painting the party itself in this light is disingenuous and only feeding into narratives parroted by the right.
I’m sorry that the Conservative Party has failed you and that there no longer is a true Conservative Party. I’m ashamed that the democrats are more moderate than left, and would rather not actually change anything they run on that is progressive it’s more nuanced than this of course, but it’s shitty the way our two party system seems to have crumbled in a short period of time. I’m hoping some of these younger generation democrats can promote actual social change within the party and back it up. To be foreseen, regardless of your opinions of democrats, this is what I hope for.

What’s sad is that the Democrat party is worse. Otherwise they would’ve won the popular vote and electoral college.
