    But that will never happen if we support anyone with a D by their name no matter what

    And it’ll also never happen if Republicans keep getting power and eroding democracy. Dems should have learned from 2016 but they didn’t and never will. Our best bet is to stave off fascism until the ancient fucks die and more young progressives get into office.

    The other alternative is let fascists win and Kickstart a civil war or something.

      Well, the only reason that happens is moderates keep promising they’ll fix stuff if elected, then sit around and dont even fix the stuff the last republican broke.

      That depresses turnout in the next election, and depressed turnout is how Republicans win.

      But Biden in his 80s, and still going to run again. And lots of other moderates are “just” in their 60s with no plans to retire soon.

      If we try to let them just naturally die off, we’ve got decades of this shit left. And what we’re currently doing isnt going to work that long.

      Hell, we’ve been waiting for them to die off since they told FDR he had to wait for his next term to make social security universal healthcare.

      That was about 80 years ago.

      We can’t afford to keep waiting for decades to actively fight fascism.
