    If we can at least get 2 dems in a row in office we can begin to claw the Overton window back from the fascist side. It’d be a start at least

      This is the part too may people fail to understand. The same reason Trump wasn’t able to completely dismantle democracy in 4 years is why Dems can’t check every progressive box in 4 years. The system is designed to require a decade or more of electoral success to enact real change. Otherwise you’d just have an unsustainable political yoyo.

      Even then, Trump winning one time has completely fucked the Supreme Court, and US democracy will unequivocally not survive another Trump pick. A ton of allegedly left leaning people here seem suspiciously enthusiastic about that prospect.

      That’s far too naive. All that will do is entrench liberalism, which is extremely weak against fascism rising.
