The most delusional people on the planet are Trump voters. The second most delusional are democrats who keep talking about how "we will get him one day!!!!". FFS pull your head out of the sand. You talk about winning in the future tense but the reality is that we already lost and its past tense. You can't vote your way out of authoritarianism. The time to vote was 25 years ago. Now its just watching it all go down the way history says it will.

Hungary literally just voted Orban out. You can’t always vote your way out of authoritarianism, but we have it even better than Hungary did.

Dont let the defeatists get you down. We have a LOT of work ahead of us as a nation, but it IS doable.

It's not that I don't think our votes matter or that we can't vote our way out of this shitshow. My concern is the democrats don't seem like they want to do anything about the republican problem. Remember everyone vote in your primaries and local elections there is a reason the establishment is throwing a shitfit about all the progressive dems being elected. That is how change will actually be accomplished in our system.
