So far, all I’ve heard is either “don’t vote unless the candidate is ‘left enough’,” a vague and counter-productive inaction; or various calls to “tear down the system” with no indication of a plan how or what to replace it with.
I’m not saying the Democrats are faultless, but empowering the people that are proactively causing harm doesn’t help.

Instead of Democrats that want to increase ICE funding, more regime change wars, more deportations, how about for once, the Democrats nominate a good candidate? Can we try that? People will settle for a Berniecrat, I’m sure. Bernie may be too old, but I do think people would settle for AOC. Not my first choice by a long shot…but I’d settle for her. People can’t keep falling for people like Obama/Biden, who promise people a loaf of bread, but won’t even bring up breadcrumbs after they’re elected.

Yes, a better candidate would be ideal, and that should absolutely be pushed for in the primaries. What is your plan to help that?
But everyone’s idea of an ideal candidate is different. If the Democrats don’t field a candidate you like in the general, what will you do? Will you withhold your vote, and in so doing help the party that is actively damaging the country win? What is your plan?
We can sit here all day and complain about this side or that side and how the Democrats are failing, but in the end that means NOTHING without a plan to DO something about it.
What is it your are going to DO?
