My point is that while the odds are still not great, we have better odds of making the democrats change course than the republicans

Both odds are 0%. The Democrats are a Private non-democratic capitalist party bought out by people with more money than you. You don't get them to "change course" unless you have billions of dollars of capital because they are mercenaries who work for the highest bidder. Do you have billions of dollars of capital?

This is mostly true, which is why I almost agree with your assessment that both are 0% odds. We don't have the funding, but the backlash is getting significant enough to have a chance. Frankly, I'd put the odds at just a few percentage points tops, so still not great odds. I just don't think success is going to come from any one factor, or it would have happened already, so we should be getting as many factors as possible on our side, even ones that are rather minor.
