    I agree. But my point is that the Democrats are the only tool we have at the moment within the government.

    We have plenty of tools outside of the government, and you’re 100% right that we should use those as well.

    But let’s not throw out the one tool we have inside the government. Let’s improve it so it’s useful.

      That’s the thing, we don’t.

      The Democrats in Washington do not give a fuck about you, me, our families, or anyone else. They exist to do performative things and make nice speeches, then go vote in a manner that can be charitably called conservative but more often enables fascism. For example, remember when they did their nice little stunt kneeling in Congress with their African wear? Those same Democrats linked up behind Biden when he wanted to militarize the police even more.

      The only power you or I have is local unless you’re willing to commit an extraordinary act of vigilantism or you’re a billionaire. That’s it.

      Do we have Democrats as a tool inside the government? Are you sure they aren’t another of the oligarchs’ tools?
