I always wonder with posts like these, what exactly have you tried to do to fix it? We've certainly had primary choices that break the mold of typical spineless corporate Democrats. Did you donate to help save the seats of Jamaal Bowman or Cori Bush? Have you ever done any canvassing? Have you written to your representatives? Do you know the names of your representatives? Have you run for office yourself?

All of us could be doing more and doing it better. The vast majority of citizens haven't done nearly enough to have earned the right to claim that the system just can't get better.

I phone banked for Sanders on two campaigns. I call and know my reps.

I live in a rare caucus state. I'll never, ever forget the silent scowls of neoliberals as leftists came up and tried to convince them to vote for Sanders, not one of them came up either time. Didn't say a god damned word for their candidate. Just scowled and rolled their eyes wishing they didn't have to sit through people talking.

We won the room once by numbers and lost once, with no one changing their minds either time. Neoliberals just go the fuck along and do as their told without any opinion but tow the party line. Pathetic.
