Holy shit. Bravo.
This — ALL of it — is worth your time.

A blind spot in the conclusion is reducing politics to partisanship without pointing out that both parties have been co-opted by the same moneyed interests.
It’s insufficient to just vote for Democrats. We must vote for good candidates and against the bad ones regardless of what color tie they wear.
Look at their donors. Schumer, Jeffries, Newsom, and others of their ilk might as well be Republicans.
Magnus Ahltorp@freediverx @marcoarment Insufficient, yes, but necessary.
As I wrote in the linked thread just a couple of minutes ago: Even though it's possible to organise resistance in a fascist dictatorship, it's much easier under a dysfunctional and comparatively mildly hostile government.

I agree, but I view this from a different perspective.
Some believe we should just tell everyone to vote for Democrats. If you recall, that didn't work so well in 2016 or 2024.
I believe the best path lies in energizing young, working class, and progressive voters. But to do that, we must first have a candidate that inspires those voters with a platform centered on their material needs with specific policies, rather than on billionaires, Wall Street, and Israel.
