concessions to voters

You mean lies. You wanted them to lie more.

And I agree. The Republicans do it so the Democrats need to as well. It's just harder to lie to thinking folks.

I want them to have actual actions, both in popular policies and effective politics. But yes, they couldn't even be bothered to lie about enacting progressive policies that would improve the material needs of the working class. Such as codifying abortion rights, expanding Medicare to universal healthcare, implementating public housing and expanding renter's rights/protections, cracking down on corporations on not only price gouging but also trust busting, implementating expansive public infrastructure projects. Under the policy spoiler you can find a whole bunch of policies that are overwhelmingly popular with every American and would improve people's livelyhood. It would be the best way to fracture the Republican base of support, but it would require going after the bottom line of corporations.

I mean. I want them to hang the 1% throw their children to the wolves spread the bounty of earth to everyone dig canals and run public transit ferries with compensated live artists and open bars that I can use to travel to museums, libraries, and orgies.

But barring that yea maybe like dress your fucking corporate genocide agenda up a little better.
