My optimistic vision still does hinge on many improbable sounding feats like getting money out of politics, drastically reforming the court amongst other changes.

And you believe the democratic party to be the vector for this change? Even "naive" is too kind a descriptor.

Preparing for the break is fine, but I argue we’d be better off doing that while still trying to bend the system to better handle the break if it happens,

Voting for democrats is akin to reinforcing the system, thus making it harder to "bend"
