Exactly the guy in the second panel is going to call any Dem "far left" or "socialist"

Oberst Enzianoberstenzian@mastodon.socialAug 29, 2026, 11:33 PM@jensorensen The Democratic Party is not interested in actually running the government and hasn’t been interested in years. They just want to get a few fav people elected because some of them don’t want to work a 9-5 like the rest of us (or can’t because they don’t have any skills an employer would want) and they want to be the loyal opposition (get paid for saying whatever they think some folks want to hear while going right along with the GOP gleefully).
