EndlessNightmare,

If the only obligation of the DNC is to be not quite as bad as the GOP, how do you expect there to be genuine, positive change, rather than the continued slow descent into fascism?

That’s the problem, I don’t expect there to be genuine, positive change. Our system is such that I don’t see a way to break the cycle.

Our shitty election system is such that if one side puts in a crazed lunatic, this gives the other side a license to be as shitty as they think they can get away with. And the people who have the ability to change it benefit from not doing so.

The best we can probably do is chip away at states 1 at a time to get ranked choice voting or some other system that addresses our duopoly. That’s what we should be doing too, but it’s a long road (if it will succeed at all) and won’t help for 2024.

We are essentially painted into a corner.
