So when are the (so-called) "democrats" pushing the hole-driller overboard?

Or will they just allow him to continue drilling holes... like they have been doing since forever?

ya i fkn do actually, i'm planning on growing gills

Republicans understood something Democrats (and their voters) didn't. You can't just elect your president and that's it, problems solved. Biden could be an angel descended from heavens, but with hostile congress, ultra-conservative courts and no cover in local states' politics either, he can't do shit (again, he has a ton of flaws worth criticizing)

So what people need to realize is that the key isn't to vote, to choose anarchy or to throw their hands up in a final display of fatalism. The key is to vote more. Vote every chance you get. A school oversight election? I'm there. Local elections? At least know who the candidates are and show up. Presidential election? Don't wait until November to choose the lesser of two evils - engage with the primary system.

Now, obviously, this takes a lot of time that people don't have. It takes a lot of evergy on top of living your life, taking care of your family, working a job or several. Not to mention, if your state is late in the process, you might not even have that many candidates to choose from during your primary/caucus.

But this is why it's crucial for people who have that time, money and energy to do it. Do it for people who can't afford to take a day off to go to a school-board meeting or something.

Also, engage with your representatives. They are representing you. If you don't agree with the way they're voting, tell them. If they ignore you, keep the receipts and campaign for their opponent in the next primary.

And I fully realize this is a shit-ton of work. But the other side has installed fundamentalists closing down libraries and banning books, stripping women of their rights, even if you do 'the things outside of your state... they want to register pregnancies and clamp down on women who don't reproduce. They've elected people who will watch the world burn while their donors profit and the Supreme Court will make sure no harm comes to them.

Is this true for some democrats? Yes. Is this true for all Republicans? No. Both sides have the power to choose the best people. Make sure you do your part and inspire others to do the same.

I have a better plan. Plug the hole.

Ok, so I think I can see what you're trying to say, and yes you're right the dems aren't actually trying to fix anything or at the very least not succeeding. BUT, fixing one hole in a boat is bad enough without having to fix more. The best course of action is always to use the votes to reduce the damage done to the country and trying to fix it from a less fucked starting point.

Like my car lost all of the oil in the engine due to a cracked sump. You better believe I'm getting that fixed even though the rest of the car isn't anything to write home about. Because attempting to continue driving it would be retarded. Allowing fascism to fester is a bit like driving your car after all the oil has been drained from the engine.

Believe me if you allow fascism to take root in your country, you will have no choice other than to submit, or risk being killed. Take a look at history. Fascist dictatorships don't usually go away without foreign intervention. And who is going to intervene when the country with the strongest military is the fascist dictatorship? If you allow this to happen, you're taking the whole world down with you. No freedoms for anyone. Seriously fucking fix it you ignorant fucking gun monkeys!
