Sorry to beat the same drum in a short amount of time, but this is where thinking Biden wasn’t doing enough has led. Perfect being the enemy of the good and all. Explicit calls for ethnic cleansing were at least not on the table with the last administration.

    Are you out there being the change in the Democratic party? Are you out there forcing change with your actions? Are you actually doing something to have a choice between something other than two parties?

    Are you? I’ve been voicing my dissatisfaction with the party since 2016. As of this past election, I’ve been voicing that I think it’s time for us to leave Dems in the dust and start a new anti-billionaire party. I’ve voted in every election that i’ve been able to, and besides 2016, the Dems have had my vote every single time. I am guilty of replacing direct action with online posting, and I will openly acknowledge that. But I don’t think “vote Blue no matter who” is the “wake up” message you think it is.

      Their message didn’t seem to be “vote blue no matter what.” They’re saying that you should get directly involved with the party, and very very few people actually do. Support a local candidate’s run for office or run yourself. I think there’s a lot to criticize about the Democrat party, but ONLY doing that is kinda part of the problem.

      The US is a two party system. If the US is salvageable, we have to work to pull the Democratic party back to the left - unless we get major voting reform to move away from first past the post , which is obviously not going to happen under republican rule.
