Itt: liberals still fever-dreaming that Democrats (as a corporate party, not the voters) are on the side of marginalized communities.

More than Republicans, I guess. But Jesus what a low bar that is.

Being barely better than Republicans when Republicans are in a foot race to worse, isn't a viable electoral strategy.
