    Democrats are centrist liberals. They are capitalists. They are cop-loving authoritarians. They will never fulfill your leftist liberatory desires. Stop deferring your political will to wishes they will never manifest. You have Stockholm Syndrome. Go do something yourself that matters to you in your own community.

        I should probably add: I don’t mean to be a dick. I say all this stuff because I care, I hate seeing comrades efforts and dreams and desires frustrated by this deadend political party year after year, election after election. I imagine if all the passion we drained into the DNC instead went into creative modes of organization and direct action in our own towns and cities?

          All I can see doing right now is try to raise consciousness about what the midterms will mean. I don’t think they are going to do a behind closed doors steal. This administration couldn’t plan anything requiring that level of coordination. No, I think they will do it all right infront of our eyes. Closing polling places. Rampant voter intimidation. State governments interfering. All leading up to forcing scotuses hand.

          People aren’t going to know how to react and ultimately they will walk away feeling defeated. Really we need to accept now that the midterms are going to be sabotaged and take to the street before hand. That’s not going to happen because as much as I plead no one will listen until it’s too late.

          Even now we see trumps agenda stalling out. What i believe is happening is they are promising him everything for after midterms. That’s why you don’t see him going scorched earth. If you don’t think his cabinet is planning their reichstag fire as we speak then you haven’t been paying attention for the last 9 years.
