Wealthy Democratic Party donors/leaders need the military in the streets putting down populist uprisings as much as Republican ones do. Often they are the same people.

Not even when they get in power.

Dems are already pushing back against people saying 'Abolish ICE'

Absorbed into the FBI and CIA.

Because, let's face it, democrat and republican are two faces of the same coin.

Yeah, that's about the size of it. Of course the alternative is electing out-and-proud Nazis, so I guess its the choice that we get.

If you want people to vote for us when there isn't a Republican in the White House then we need to push for leaders who

1. Consistently tell people Republicans are bad people with bad ideas.
2. Tell people creating ICE and DHS were Republican ideas and they need to be gotten rid of because Republicans have bad ideas.
3. Tell people things were better back in the 90s before ICE existed because we didn't let Republicans' bad ideas ruin everything and we could just go back to what we were doing then.
4. Publicly disown anyone who tries to campaign with Republicans or says anything positive about them.

Deviating from those things only loses us votes.

e; deleted something that was needlessly proactive

Read: There's no peaceful solution. Fascism in America has already reached critical mass. Start organizing before it's too late.

It doesn't matter how people vote if none of their available options wants to do this.

Articles like this are how you get people to sell candidates that have this position.

I guess it's just easier to whine about shit though.

There are some economic strategies too, but they would involve varying levels of self-inflicted pain. They also need significant coordination to be effective.

It’s time to dismantle the US Government

The world will interfere and fix them? Like who? Russia? China? Like everyone else intervened and fixed the middle east?

I hate to break it to you, but the problem isn't the usa.

The problem is the rich.

I wish so bad.

That might be a little like "not using the fire extinguisher until the fire has spread into the living room."

Too little, too late. Trump is talking about suspendeding the midterms. Might be time to show some guns.

I think this mentality breaks down in the reality of the system we currently have. They are constantly working to make your vote mean less. The structures of our constitution effective gerrymander the states' influence on national levels through the senate. Similarly, the electoral collage is built to favor the right. And after all that the higher courts have been packed by republican, effectively giving an override to functionally any law in the form of sloppy logic from a broken supreme court.

All of that to say, if you draw the line at specifically your ability to cast a vote, regardless of the voice you actually have, you've essentially decided so long as there is the theater of democracy you will do nothing to help save it.
