MODERATORS
We need to do more to stop this than just block trump from office for four years to stall.
We need Dems that will actually fight against it and can plan more than one election ahead of time.
Even when trump is dead and buried the people who came up with this plan and fund it are still going to be there, and will keep trying.
Moderates want us to only focus on current elections while Republican extremists plan decades ahead of time.
What is being done to fight them isn't enough.
Nobody can fight them right now though. Executive Order wouldn't work, and Dems don't have enough control in Congress. Dems need both to pass legislation that the Republicans definitely don't want passed.
Republicans have done nothing but fight this type of legislation for decades, because they know they will never win the general populace come election time. This is why they Gerrymander, this is why they pass laws allowing themselves to unilaterally throw out election results, and this is why we're seeing the Supreme Court making insane rulings right now. It's all to try and disenfranchise the majority population opinion, and try to rewrite it with indoctrination.
Voters don't expect everything to get fixed overnight
We expect the people we elect to fight for progress, even if they lose.
It's a very low bar that the DNC isn't meeting.
Imagine how powerful leftist grassroots organizations would be if folks like you would dedicate the same amount of time and energy to voter engagement and activism that you devote to ranting and raving on political message boards. This country would be completely transformed in a matter of months.
Edit: Seriously, 6,800 comments over a 12 month period is almost 19 comments every single day of the year. That's borderline obsession, and it can't possibly be good for your mental health.
