I think that a lot of people know the Democrats are shit. They have been shit for decades.
The problem is that people correctly figure out the Democrats are controlled opposition, and they don't stick around. They just stop voting.
The problem is the Democrats know this, and they'd rather lose elections, keep their nice little controlled opposition status, rather than try to actually engage with disaffected voters.
The Bernie campaign was a direct attempt to show that if someone tried to reach out to disaffected voters, it could be successful.
The Democrats made sure to sabotage that strategy by rigging the primaries.
So at this point I think the best thing to do is keep criticizing the Democrats, highlight their intentional losing strategies, and wait until enough people catch on, and we build a mass movement to replace them with something better. Hopefully we catch enough people before they give up and just check out of politics completely
