I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.
I've been saying we need to hollow out the Dems and fill it with actual progressives for almost 20 years now. Everyone looked at me like I said we should kick everyone's puppies. No one takes an 18 year old seriously when he says shit like, "it's really a corporate oligarchy." 😔

The Democratic Party needs to split in two, one Progressive the other Centrist. The infighting caused by our "big tent" is the majority of the problem this country is having. We've been too distracted to help the traditional Republicans fight off the Fascists that took their party over.
