People tell you to "vote!" because they don't know what to do either about the man who controls the entire federal government and its military, who immunizes himself and his allies for committing crimes, who has a supermajority on the corrupt high court to back him up, and whose party is trying to make it impossible to vote against them.
If rules and norms were going to save us, it would have happened by now.
There was so much pearl clutching over Trump telling federal courts to go fuck themselves but none of these people adjusted their strategy for how to deal with him because of it.

"You have to have faith in the system!"

Why? o.O

I don't think I've ever seen it put so straightforwardly but:

Even if Democrats somehow manage to take over Congress or the White House in the future, they are going to have to break the law in order to ensure Trump and Republicans don't get away with it and aren't able to do it again.

Presidential pardons are going to have to be treated as worthless. Corrupt SCOTUS rulings ignored. You have to uproot all of it and throw it away.

Or this will just happen again.

Are Democrats going to do that?

No. So? What's the point?

@gwynnion We need a multi-party system...not this duopoly.
