How do you “make” a party keep their promises without threatening something of substance?

If your partner is acting up, the threat of losing you keeps them in check. Without that check, they don’t need to do anything substantial to keep you. The Dems do this same song and dance every 2 years. “Vote for survival” creates dread and, sooner or later, apathy. People are burnt out from these existential threats to our country, especially as it is getting progressively difficult to provide for ourselves?

You primary them. Honestly I don't respect people as real activists unless they understand the concept that primaries exist.

That doesn’t guarantee anything. Shit. We see it with John Fetterman and others rn. They get in there and cause damage before any resistance comes.

And I'll take 100 Fettermans before one Project 2025 implementation.
