About this time last year, I got lambasted by someone for saying that the Democratic and Republican parties aren't meaningfully different, but rather just two wings of the
#singleparty system we have in this country. I'm feeling pretty justified in my side of that argument right about now (even while I wish I wasn't).
Y'all want to not have outright fascists in over half of every single governing body? Then start treating the Democratic Party as the moderate-right-wing/right-leaning-moderate party they are and find your actual liberals. There is nothing sacred about the D/R split that should hold you to an either/or vote, and in fact nearly every other country with a halfway-similar setup has at least a token showing of third parties in power. Instead, the
#Democrats have proven, once again, where they actually stand; nobody is doing anybody any good by following along meekly as they trot out each limp call to action, all that proves to them is that they can continue to do whatever they want (swing however right they want) without meaningful resistance. This isn't a football league, blind loyalty and cheerleading are actively harmful.
I'm not even saying to go far left, much as the socialist parties are the ones that will actually have your best interests at heart. Even just a handful of Greens winning down-ballot, but still national, positions will be enough to stop the
#politicians taking y'all (entirely) for granted, and meanwhile that handful will actually support what you say you believe, rather than this active collusion with their half across the aisle. Remember this in three years, remember all that effort cheerleading, all that "vote blue no matter who" brigading y'all did even before the primaries in order to try to get them to backstop against the Republicans, and remember how they immediately started working alongside them instead.
