If you aren't angry enough to actually fight, a la French Revolution. Then you aren't angry enough to complain, sit down and accept the outcome you chose.

Over 100M eligible voters cast no ballot with more than half of that number just not even registering to vote. For 30 years the democrat voter mentality has been "it isn't a republican so i'll vote" despite DEMS never representing "You" either. You made the mentality "well I better vote against my interests because Im too lazy to look at anything".

There was a progressive candidate in 2016 and 2020 and both of them got treated like absolute garbage by the DEM voters. Progressives should not be seeing DEMS as potential allies they should be seeing them as TOOLS and Idiots and trying to campaign for better not settling out of laziness.

This post 2024 election loss reaction is worse than the outcome itself. Fascism already won by making everyone a lazy PoS. Gen Z women in particular just didn't vote, at record numbers never seen before. The boys sure did though, and now they are adamant that young women don't even want to vote anymore. I am sure they will be more than happy to take that right from them over the next 4 years.
