Like how do democrats expect to get votes? What is their platform? It seems like their only platform is to disrupt and say we really hate Trump! Do they have any positive ideas going into the midterms?

Are you really unaware of their positions on health care, immigration, education, the environment, trade, etc..?

Imagining educating yourself.

Tbh, that would be a perfectly acceptable platform if it was indeed their singular issue.

The public has been shortchanged, so the public has to pay more money to the government so the government can pay themselves and then pretend that they're fixing the problem of the public being short changed by the giving the public what's left of their money back to them.

By this logic, the only platform the right has is "Fuck liberals".

I've seen hundreds of politically oriented posts from Yuki over the past few years. Exactly 0 of them had any content besides "fuck liberals." Yuki enjoys having a broken record gimmick.

The Democratic Party establishment is not interested in doing anything that would upset its donor class. This is why, for example, you have Nancy Pelosi saying they'll bring back pay-go and Chuck Schumer is saying they'll raise the threshold for approving judicial nominees back to 60: they don't want to do Medicare-for-All, they don't want to significantly raise taxes, or even seat judges who might upset their donors.
And they're still better than the Republicans! That's the most damning indictment of American politics.

$15 an hour minimum wage is a rallying cry for numerous Democrats, including Clinton during her 2016 run.

Gun bans and expanding secret government watchlists so they can be used to deny people their Constitutional rights is in their official party platform. Democrats shut down the House for a day and literally sat on the floor demanding the expanded use of "terrorist watch lists."

Literally how health insurance works. And if other countries can manage we certainly can. We just have to decide we want it enough to sacrifice for it and then actually make an effort.
