Problem is this already was not enough in 2020 and since. Despite all the evidence of Trumps presidency and then fucking January 6, Dems decided to just get back to business as usual and just ignore the fundamental problems in American society that became apparent with Trump.

And Biden is not in shape to deal with any of this, while the DNC seems hellbent on pretending there is no serious problem.

We need a different younger candidate and voting will not be enough. We need local action, in the communities, local governance, protests…

It might not be enough. But all of those things you listed take a lot of time and enough people to care about it to get out and do things.

It’s definitely not good enough, but it’s like if you have a giant puncture wound on you leg and no one else is there to help you. You could stuff it with cloth you tore from your shirt or make a makeshift tourniquet and try your best to not bleed out until better help arrives. OR just be like fuck I’m not cut out to deal with this. I’ll just lay here and do nothing.

We do need all of those things! But we don’t have them right now so we just have to try and stop the bleeding until we do.
