You're acting like you still have democracy, that's cute

You lost democracy with McCarthyism, way back in the 1960s.

This is just at the precipice of the point of no return now. You have only two options.

Option 1: Jump off the cliff and deep dive into fascist conservative dictatorship

Option 2: Have a ineffectual blue leadership that are more interested in keeping status quo than actually making change, but at least can be brow beaten enough that they listen to people and make a very glacial change that's not fast enough
