      Voting harder for Democrats isn’t the solution, that’s for sure.

      If Democrats wanted to take responsibility, they would’ve shifted to the left and appealed to the many countless disenfranchised voters.

      I feel it’s fair to say that both major parties are traitors to the American people at this point.

            Because progressives blame everyone for holding them back while not organizing and building an effective party.

            Mostly because they don’t think anyone else is left enough for them.

              Or progressives do have viable alternative parties but the “moderates” keep sabotaging them. For instance by constant gaslighting with claiming that voting for a progressive party would be treachery.

              But then there is also progressives who try to reform the Democratic party from the inside and get progressive politics to the forefront. But wait, you said above we shouldn’t talk about these either.

          Both sides are the same is a lazy attitude and doing it while there’s no alternative is criminal.

          I said they are both traitors. Not that the parties are the same.

          We need to demand voting and election system reform after Trump is impeached or is otherwise removed from power.
