so we're fucked, then
Only if we continue to fight under these democrats. With real leadership, and organization, we will win, we are stronger. Leadership can come from outside government for now, and organization needs be outside of social media that is hooked by government and powerful interests.
But the fediverse here could be the key to get the ball rolling, innumerable communities federated on general forums, on a new sort of social media, where people can cooperate on what they agree on, and work together, privately and publicly as they see fit. We could amongst other things find and groom candidates for office, and that wouldn't take that many people in most cases. We can crowdsource investigations, even run sting operations. We can pool our votes and agree to collective actions if something happens or doesn't.
Every protest, instead of mindlessly marching, we could be out signing people up to the groups. Organization is now and always has been the key to winning. The right is organized, monied interests are organized on what they agree on, and are the source of all of this, and they are the reason we aren't organized.
