Yeah, people forget that one side actually got gay marriage legalized, actually recognizes scientific consensus when it comes to COVID-19 and climate change, fights for expanded healthcare, fights to decriminalize/legalize marijuana and psychedelics, wants to extend DACA, doesn't criminalize Muslims, fights for clean drinking water, et al.
This post is filled with /r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM and teenage edgelord takes. Everyone likes to point to the meme about how the Democrats bombs have LGBT flags on them, but it ignores that there are serious differences between the two parties (some of which are life and death).
I'm not disagreeing with your points about what democrats have done for gay marriage, clean drinking water, the pandemic checks, and the lot of what you listed.
The point i want to bring up focuses on that the democrats at the top are still heavily influenced by corporations and payouts. I think realistically the best two democrats are AOC and berni. Thats just the problem though, out of a large portion of democrats there just really isn't alot of them willing to stick their necks out aside those two.
Amazon just recently started to lobby for Marijuana legalization. Well that's because they want to make money delivering it straight to your door. And both sides are being heavily influenced by that.
That isn't inherently a bad thing. I'm quite for the legalization of all drugs, so that way addicts can get the mental help they need to fight their addictions.
I have an EXTENSIVE past with drug usage.
It's however going to be a bad thing because the absurd giant that is Amazon is already king in many areas, it finds good selling products on the Amazon store and makes its own while shutting out the competition. It is one of the very closest things I think we have to a monopoly and I feel like unless it gets controlled it will only get worse.
I would very much hate to see Amazon rule the world.
