My parents, both life-long democrats, voted for him. I didn’t understand that, and I was only 15 at the time. Four years later, when I got to vote in my first Presidential election, I voted for Mondale. I’ve voted Democrat ever since in an attempt to balance out the Fascists.

The thing is, the Dems never pleased me either. I’ve realized in recent years that voting for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil. There should be a better way.

While I am not thrilled with the Dems, if you get progressive enough dems, they will institute ranked choice voting, which is the path out of a 2 party system. GOP has never done this.
This. The only way out is an evolution of one of the two existing parties due to the probabilistic nature of FPTP. Step one is short-circuiting media, and establishing a working class unity against the rich. Need blue collar voters united to start pushing for constitutional changes state by state.
Boomer Blue collar workers are somehow convinced that the Republican Party is their best friend. Fucking rubes
White Boomers grew up in and received the full benefit of the American Golden Age. Conservatives offer “the good old days” and most Boomers can’t understand those good old days came from The New Deal and other 1930s legislation which conservatives put to the torch.
