    They absolutely are and I hope the youth responds in kind.

    The democratic party is an anchor around the neck of progress.

    We’d literally be better with a unified republican party and the dems disolving. Maybe then you could actually form a coalition of meaningful resistance.

    Currently dems are literally just a lightning rod to defuse revolutionary energy.

    Libs love to say “oh you think not supporting the dems will make them listen to you?”

    Maybe not but I’ve unfortunately done exactly what they’ve said and begrudgingly supported them because they said that’s how you get influence.

    And then they turn around and say they never needed you. I’ve tried begrudgingly suppirting dems for 2 decades and things have steadily gotten worse for the average person while they’re doing fucking great.

    Burn it all down.

      You nailed it. Been trying to resolve this in my head and it’s been a challenge, but the way you framed it exactly describes what I’ve been trying to get to.
