Yeah so as far as democratic mechanisms after-votes-are-cast go, Dems have a history of partially ignoring or suppressing their constituents too, Gaza being the most glaring of recent ones what's with getting activists condemned/fired/deported. Is that part really going to change and how?

I personally can hope all day every day that Democrats will get their shit together, and cheer upon them as they do one by one, but I'm not blaming anyone who can't bring themselves to do it. We don't even need to relitigate 2024 to see why. Remember this colossal failure and everything downstream?

We are heading into a period of increasing instability due to climate/fuel/global conflict, with many vital institutions disassembled for parts, wild inequality and right-wing ownership of media, openly Nazi billionaires, elections becoming even more dubious. And - none of this was unpredictable.

I would be more receptive to an anti-doomer message based on the above screenshot if we didn't see the "return to normal" happen 2020-2024. We didn't need a gay commie revolution, we needed Trump in prison for the insurrection attempt that we watched happen on TV.

You don't think you could make a well founded case on whether or not something like widespread liberal demobilization happens? Like you believe that's just not the sort of thing one can reasonably evidence one way or another?
