    You’re not going to fix it by voting „harder”. It just makes you think you’ve done your part. But in all honesty the american democracy has been eroded for decades to the point where you have to choose between fascism and fascism later. You don’t reverse that trend by voting for kamala harris.

      You also don’t stop it from getting worse by not voting for Kamala Harris (barring better options). Fascism later is still clearly better than fascism now.

      Not good, just better.

        So at which point were the DNC going to allow the party to shift to the left?

        Because DNC leaders have only ever appealed to conservatives in my lifetime.

        At this point saying the Democrats will fix things is naive, they’re the good cop in this good/bad cop duopoly.

          I’m not saying that the Democrats would fix things. But considering you unfortunately are in this god cop, bad cop situation, I don’t see how risking the bad cop to be in charge by not voting for the good cop is reasonable.
