    But that’s not how the government works.

    That’s the problem - the government isn’t working.

    Have you been paying attention? We have a felon as our president, who is ignoring his oath to uphold the constitution and is bypassing due process. He is also in contempt of court. He is committing crimes daily and is destroying our economy and our country’s soft power.

    We’re supposed to have checks and balances. Republicans are trying to make Trump effectively immune to being held in contempt of court.

    Are we supposed to sit around and consent to this?

          because MAGA took them over while progressives got pissed about Bernie and proceeded to do nothing.

          What do I need to move on from or do about it?

            Stop playing the blame game and do literally anything. You’re projecting your own personal inaction and frustration onto progressives.

            In a constitutional crisis, while the last shred of democracy is at stake, do you simply vote your way out of the mess?

            There will be no elections for you to vote in.

                If Democrats could’ve budged even a little bit to the left, they would’ve won and stopped Trump. But they couldn’t. They also couldn’t hold primaries before the presidential election.

                You don’t need to be a psychic with a crystal ball to determine that Kamala couldn’t win, especially not with her strategy of shifting to the right and appealing to voters that literally don’t exist.

                Democrats spent more energy systematically suing third-parties off the ballot than attracting the voters they were so afraid of losing to third-parties.

                    Who has a better chance than Harris?

                    The voters should’ve been able to determine that with a primary. Instead the senile old man held on until the last minute and there was literally no time for a primary. Democrats wasted a billion on a failed and rushed campaign.

                    I already said what I’m going to do. Everything that is in my power, and encouraging others to stand in their power.

                    What are you going to do? Keep blaming the Bernie Bros until Trump takes away all of your rights and installs himself as dictator?
