I don’t find Democrats flawless. Far from it.
Notice how you say:
THEY’LL never win if THEY assume THEY don’t have to.
How is this not defeatist?
Why not say instead “I want the democrats to be better, and I will work towards this so we can defeat Trump and have a better place to live.”

Instead, people like to reject the same institutions that Trump is dismantling. So the Dems will continue to ignore people who do not participate in the system, and the cycle continues.

I do criticize and hope the Dems change for the better, but it doesn’t end with criticism and hope, instead it begins like that.
I don’t like the attitude of “both parties are the same” because it negates the unique threat of Trump.

I do believe I can change minds. I do believe in having important conversations like this to convince people that yes, voting Dem is meaningfully better.
I am not okay with people resigning to the belief that the two parties are the same, and I want to change that.

Are you not concerned in the way your rhetoric might dissuade people from voting Dem?
Hank Green posted saying “both parties are different!” and the overwhelming response of people saying “they are the same, actually” had him delete the post we agree with.
Does this not cause pause for you?

Listen, if you vote dem, then we have nothing to argue with.
I am aware with systemic problems with our governments, but I see a meaningful difference between the two parties (enough to vote for the better one).
And also, the dems are not silent, there is pushback against Trump

You’re treating your framework as a description of reality rather than one lens among others. How are you so sure that your lens explains more than it obscures? Does it fail to view differences from the Republican and Democratic parties?

Yes, apply your Marxist framework to view the world in a way so that the same Marxist framework can be used to answer those answers.
