This would more realistic if Dems were just watching the boat sink. They wouldn’t be helping at all. They are perfectly fine with state violence on college protesters, why would they try to save anyone on a boat lol? They would just say you’ll be drowning faster if you pick the other guy.
Yes, for Cthulhu’s sake, everyone get in and bail like your life depends on it. Let’s plan the next 4 years telling politicians where to lug the holes, rather than risk spending the entire four years vpbaling like crazy while still sinking lower and lower, with someone running around drilling more holes when you’re not looking
All modern political parties in liberal democracies are fine with state violence on college protestors. It’s kind of the nature of having a state that exercises police power. There is no one arguing against that.
I think it would take a lot of restructuring as well. The systems in place don’t allow the people who may want to do something a chance to do it.
Campaign reform, lobbying abolishment, so many things I can’t list them in a random lemmy reply. It also doesn’t help that a rep can just flip sides after they are elected.

None of that is okay, of course. THOUGH what we must do now is get Biden in to buy time and take all this anger, condense it, and work together
Instead of the usual “Got the President in, time to not talk for four years.” shit that always seems to happen.

It’s not all of them. The majority sure, but it is possible to change the democratic party from within.
But that requires heavy voter turn outs that vote as far left as possible in local elections and primaries.

You’re not wrong. It’s a nearly insurmountable problem.
There’s nothing worse than a leftist.
