OK, I agree with almost everything you’ve said there, but the last bit ‘I hope they crash and burn so they can learn their lesson. Serve the people or get out of the way of people who will!’ fails to consider the damage that will occur while they’re learning said lesson. You talk about things like LGBT rights being under attack, and abortion being gone, but that is all from the (far)right party, racism also seems to be worst amongst that portion too. Giving the Dems a kicking, though richly deserved, just gives free reign to those who would go further, faster and strip even more rights long before a reformed and recovered Dem party could do anything about it. I think the changes will need to be made ‘live’, as it were, which will entail them having enough power to curtail the republicans whilst also listening to a large enough group of voters telling them how to change.

I’m going to assume you are arguing in good faith. Around 2016 I would have been in your shoes. I was a Dem and a “true believer”. I used to work for the party, literally paid to harass old people to get them to come to a field office to make calls for, 🤮🤢, Hillary.

I used to be you, but then I saw “my” party continue to either cast shitty votes or make excuse after excuse for why they can’t ever play hardball like the Republicans do. Thanks to their incompetence or Malice (prob depends on who we’re talking about) I looked for alternatives, found the “real” left and now I’m here.
