    Well maybe if people don’t vote (or vote third party, same thing), that’ll help.

    After the last eight years, neither of these two parties is appealing, and the people who don’t vote saw both parties do nothing about their impoverishment for the last eight years. Blaming them is like punching someone in the face and then complaining to them that you broke your hand. It was particularly disgusting watching Kamala Harris tell poor people that she’d do nothing about it for three months AND that they should just “be joyful”.

    you have to be a little more discerning than “they’re all bad”.

    We’re way past that. Unless you’re willing to commit an act of terrorism or vigilantism or have a billion dollars, you have zero power now. Same as the rest of us.

    But if you’re not on board with Bernie and AOC,

    They’re powerless too, mostly. Dems invented superdelegates in order to subvert their own primary rules and force Bernie out. I will give Bernie some credit as his use of the bully pulpit has created positive change. Remember when he gave speeches on Disney’s and Amazon’s labor practices and ended up winning living wages for a quarter of a million people? I sure do.
