We just fucking cannibalize each other fucking ourselves over and over.

52. People are told that Democrats aren't progressive -- labeling them establishment/centrist/corporatist, etc. .

Progressives/democratic socialists (the anti-establishment) list "their" policies as what all Americans want, but the goals are the same as the Democratic Party's: universal health care, higher taxes on wealthy and corporations, higher wages and union support, affordable housing, campaign finance reform, environmental regulations, etc. Propaganda tries to turn strengths into weaknesses. Pretend Democratic polices don't exist or aren't enough or that they think everything's just fine and nothing should change. Viciously attack character, assume evil motivations and plots, accuse them of hating and fearing progressives.

We're told the system is broken and rigged and everyone's corrupt, the only possible way for change is revolution. Take over the Democratic Party and transform it, punish them.

I am so sick of this fucking shit I want to scream, too.
