An excellent essay by @pluralistic , as always.
And it underscores an important point for #USPolitics : " #VoteBlue ", in itself, is not a useful strategy for stopping fadcism in the USA.
Because it won't do much if those elected Democrats are not afraid of the wrath of the voters each and every time they give in to Trump and the other oligarchs.
If they are not afraid of the voters, a lot of them will just do what they have kept on doing - as their voters for donations while selling out democracy and civil rights to their corporate donors.
True reform in the USA will not come without powerful organization outside of the party apparatuses.
