To those wondering when the #Democrat pushback will come, it won't.

Their strategy is "we told you so."
The sad thing is it will likely work.

I predict Trump will lose his #House and #Senate majorities after the #midterms ... then they'll successfully impeach him.

Then we'll go back to "fascist lite" business as usual #WallStreet boot licking.

The way to prevent business as usual is to PRIMARY the incumbent democrats.

That is what made the #TeaParty so wildly effective in shifting this country to the so hard to the right.

Primary the business as usual democrats. Take. Them. Out.

What exactly do you think that Democrats should be doing?

@taoish in my experience , people that ask those questions, don't really want to know the answer. Things like "promote politics that benefits regular people and not their billionaire sponsors/ Israel" and "start working for ACTUAL democracy" seem to be not the answers they are looking for.

"Start working for ACTUAL democracy" for example isn't an answer and it isn't a plan. It's a vague slogan at best. Arguably lots of Dems have been doing exactly that, in practical and effective ways, but it's not a compelling issue to many Americans.

Top Democrats have ever spoken out against FPTP elections?

When?

You're shifting the goal posts, with the old vague-to-specific rhetorical trick, but since you asked, yes. Democrats in the last two states I've lived in supported and adopted ranked choice voting.
