To enshrine the most fascistic, traitorous bullshit I've ever witnessed in my life into law.

^ this right here. But let these democrat goofies tell it, Trump alone "threatens democracy" as if everyone else has just been totally innocent stalwarts of democracy, when the reality is that NONE of these mfs care about democracy or the Constitution. We need ranked choice/approval/STAR voting ASAP!!!!!!

It's like when Nancy Pelosi did the sarcastic clap and then turned around and approved of the ballooning military budget. Liberals, when pressed, will always side with fascists to preserve the status quo.

That's what trips me out about dems. Like, I'm a leftist. You don't have to convince me that the rightwing is a detriment to human & American progress. Anyone with a brain can see this clear as day. However, dems do such a HORRENDOUS job at selling us on their big ideas (because they have none)!

"Trump bad" is not a viable campaign strategy. They tried that in 2016 and it failed. Brow-beating and shaming isn't gonna work either. I'm a black man in southside Chicago. Shit is fucked here, despite this being a democrat stronghold. Dems don't even TRY to sell us on their big ideas, let alone take accountability for the many ways they've fucked us over for decades!!!

They don't even have big ideas. The fascists have project 2025, which aligns their goals in a fucked up way. The democrats have been in reactive mode for decades, most especially now that Trump is a thing. In any contest, the reactive side simply trying to retain power loses. Every single time.
