Newsome doesn't give a damn about you either. He's pulling the same playbook as Trump is, don't fall for the same exact shit you make fun of Republican voters for

Of course he gives a damn! What do you think he is celebrating?
But Gavin... While the country was under stay-at-home and isolate orders during COVID, you hosted a party.
The rhetoric in here...
People, third parties will kill your chances. That is a fact. This is true in all first past the post/winner takes all systems, but especially the US one where the parties can just sandbag each other and do nothing, meaning the conservatives win.
Secondly, you may like to make some guillotine memes, but lets be real. You're not that guy. You aren't planning some secret spec ops assassination of the crew behind trump. You didn't do it for any of the lead up, and you won't do it now.
Thirdly, if your progressive sweetheart (and believe me, I'd prefer them too), got into the white house, you very same people would quickly get angry at them and say they aren't doing enough because you completely fail to understand your own system and this very next point.
If you actually want to see a turn around, it will be long, boring, slow and unfun. You will not get big results in 1, 2, or even 3 terms. It doesn't work that way.
You not only have to keep democrats winning, but also have to slowly flip enough seats to progressive politicians within said party that they significantly change the parties voting patterns and leadership. Its not just that either, you have to get enough of the population to vote for people, a lot of whom you will hate, that they get a super majority in the senate, at the same time as they have a simple majority in the house, and at the same time as they have a president. Only when all 3 of those things happen simultaneously could you possibly even hope to have the types of changes we all want to see implemented implemented.
There is no other way within this system. Its built to be slow and has more inertia than you can imagine. You're not about to uproot that system, so you have to understand it, even if you don't like it.
