I am under no illusions that even if and it’s a big if the Democrats managed to take back enough seats in both the house and the Senate to actually impeach and prosecute Trump that they still won’t do it that they will be spineless and that they will offer supposed Olive branches across the aisle.
We had one guy win a primary in a mayoral race. You guys are acting as if this changes everything. It’s interesting to watch for sure and there are lessons to be learned but that does not mean that everything is changing. It’s not even guaranteed he’ll win the Mayoral race. The DNC is even considering not giving him the nomination despite him winning.
The billionaire class is already mobilizing to try and ensure this guy never gets elected. Do you think they’re going to make it any easier when he’s in office?
By all means we should engage in electoral politics but we should not be under any illusions that it will fix the system we have nor should we be under any illusion that our politicians will save us from the problem that is Donald Trump. If anything the Democrats seem more than happy to capitulate to what he wants since they’re not in the majority.
We need to engage in different forms of politics other than electoralism.
If all you’re doing is voting it is not enough to save the country
And my comments reflect that.
E: to be clear I am saying we need to do more than one thing. We need protests and we need vote. We need to to many things to grow our movement and follow through on momentum that we do build.

No, but your writing is that we should give up prematurely. That is why we also need to protest.
No my writing is encouraging people not to put all of their eggs in one basket.
