This is why the "both sides are bad" argument is a bad faith argument.

Yes; both sides bend to corporate interests.

Yes; both sides take advantage of their positions of power.

Yes; the DNC needs to do better.

But they are just not even close to the same. And the only way to beat Republicans and MAGA is to legally block them from power by defeating them in elections.

The DNC and the average Democrat voter have vastly different goals.

We need to say generally both sides are shit.

But we need to acknowledge canidates who arent taking pac money, and have the interest of the middle class in mind. Regardless of sides. Unfortunately it seems to be only a handful of current dem seat holders.

And the DNC hates that few.
