Sorry to beat the same drum in a short amount of time, but this is where thinking Biden wasn't doing enough has led. Perfect being the enemy of the good and all. Explicit calls for ethnic cleansing were at least not on the table with the last administration.

Their message didn't seem to be "vote blue no matter what." They're saying that you should get directly involved with the party, and very very few people actually do. Support a local candidate's run for office or run yourself. I think there's a lot to criticize about the Democrat party, but ONLY doing that is kinda part of the problem.

The US is a two party system. If the US is salvageable, we have to work to pull the Democratic party back to the left - unless we get major voting reform to move away from first past the post , which is obviously not going to happen under republican rule.
