1000% this. Half our problem is people bitching that their perfect candidate is not an option, and that they don't want to vote 'against' someone.
The time to be active is NOW, not complaining about your choices in October 2028. Left media isn't helping here, since they want to complain about how the election is still years away and yet we're talking about potential candidates.... YES, we are. If you're not talking now, then you're not in the conversation. Is it great to have a 24x365x4 political cycle? hell no. But is it what we have? yes.
Join your local democratic organization and get familiar with how things work. Help choose a 'not fascist' candidate for now and push for better down the line.
If you're here, reading this, and you want things to be better, then you have two choices: vote blue no matter who (ceding your choice to others who are involved), or get involved and be part of the decision of 'who' is blue.
