PS.

I would for vote Kamala. I would vote for a cactus with sunglasses if it had the Democratic nomination. You would do yourself well to consider anything that is weaking the resolve of the anti-trump sentiment straight poison to your brain. We have only one job this novemeber and that is to stop trump. The Supreme Court has given him the status of king. Quit acting like your vote is sacred and start realizing your vote is your final cry before your rights are forfeited.

I always like to point out that the people on the far right are always going to vote, and they are always going to vote for the Republican candidate no matter what. Even if you feel like there aren't any "good candidates" you should still vote because even getting a less than ideal president is better than just doing nothing and letting Trump become a dictator for life

The only real solve is for several people to devote their lives to seeming like milquetoast centre right Democrats, getting into a majority of high ranking committee positions, and then all turn left at once and effect sweeping reforms to the entire platforms

It's impossible. You would have to be able to fake "real housewives" type social discourse and be able to social climb in that environment. It guarantees only dumb, thoughtless, bite backing, people will ever hold seats of power. Else you risk GOP game of thrones style politics where the GOAT is a spray tanned ballsack with a golden comb over.

Exactly why I bothered to describe a comically implausible scenario for everyone's enjoyment.

I think I'm out of jokes for now, at least until we find out one of Trump's kids has a mysterious illness that can only be treated by a tall drunk with a disquieting gaze.

IMO, the solutionis changing how we vote so the disenfranchised are encouraged to participate. More voters equals more democratic votes. So why arent democrats taking these easy votes? All it takes is passing electoral reform in the states they control.

A number of democrats have supported alternative voting system, but the higher ups are complacent and aloof.

Because that would lose more moderates than the leftists itd gain. The electorate is a third fascist, a third conservative, about a sixth leftist and a sixth social democrat
