    No one is glossing over that.

    That’s just flat out false. The Dem leadership is still bending over backwards to make bipartisan deals with fascists who don’t negotiate in good faith and their messaging is all about messaging to almost-Trumpers about how HE is bad while not addressing the underlying problems. Some of which the Dems themselves are partly to blame for.

    People need a face for an enemy

    Yeah, that worked SUPER well when they lost to the most unqualified and personally repulsive person to ever run for president TWICE and only BARELY beat him while he was actively ignoring an ongoing pandemic 🙄

    Nebulous constructs will not focus anger.

    There’s nothing “nebulous” about concentration camps, systemic discrimination, complete subservience to a madman, and specific policy that is ruinous to regular people while further enriching the already extremely rich and powerful.

    There’s SO much more than only Trump to focus on for the Dem leadership, which would be MUCH more effective in appealing to the actual concerns of regular people and thus increasing voter participation, which would doom the GOP to obscurity in a few cycles if done right.

      Dude. Chill.

      No one is glossing over it means we see it. Yes we know. Your ascribing malice to everyone pell neel without seeing that yep, the lawmakers are the issue, but the people aren’t b

      We are fighting

      We are not glossing anything over.

      You cannot fight wars on multiple fronts we cannot focus on every single focus point it is not feasible

      Trump is the head of the snake. Not the only snake, but right now he’s the head

      Now focus. Stop panicking. Worked with each other. We need to stop letting the overwhelming amount of crap they are thwpring out there blind you

      Remove trump, and it proves the people are in charge and we can remove anyone

      See your listing the issues, that’s fine. But that doesn’t help focus

      Part of the reason occupy Wall Street failed was a lack of focus, cohesion and unity. Infighting, separate agendas.

      That’s what’s happening now, and your post is a symptom. You’re not stupid, hell your not wrong about any of those issues being important, but your running in circles trying to trying to stop a flood of water with buckets, when we just have to turn off the spout.

      It’s hard to turn that spout and it won’t be done tomorrow, but if we focus, we can

        I swear I think people’s egos just like to argue for the sake of argument and being intellectually “correct” rather than actually trying to understand the other person and their point of view. Reddit was especially awful with this, which was why I left.

      Did you go to the protests?

      Edit: I’ll take the downvote as a no. So I’ll leave you with this: keep your doomer bullshit to yourself, shut the fuck up, and get out of the way.
