  • Look. As long as there are only two parties and one of them wants to turn the US into a dictatorship, there is not much more you can do. That’s not a failed lesson. There are many opportunities to act in between elections, but come election time there is none. You can die smug knowing that you were right once you cannot vote or you can live pissed because the less bad alternative still suck hard.

    Also, the democratic party has never had the control of congress and presidency for more than two years in a row. Not that I have much hope, but losing 4 elections in a row (two full presidencies) should at least have some impact on the republican party. And that’s without taking into account that women, POC, LGBTQ+, immigrants, … would have a much, much better life even if you maintain the status quo but with the democratic party.

    Again, it’s a shitty option, but there is literally no alternative. And focusing on democrats on the opposition and blaming them for shit instead of republicans in government who are actually doing the things is playing into the hands of the republicans, which by the way could remove Trump today from the presidency if they wished, so it’s the whole party’s fault, not Trump’s.
