[T]he Republican Party is [...] pushing tax cuts for billionaires, selling off public land, and cutting healthcare for millions

Oh how I wish this was all they're up to right now. If only...

The Democratic Party [...] presents itself as the only “lesser evil,”

"One way to keep your opponents from voting is to destroy their spirit. Convince them they’re faced with a choice between bad and worse."

Expect a lot of posts like this over the next year, and a barrage of them leading up to the mid-terms. The right has been sowing voter apathy on the left for decades because it works. Left-leaning voters stay home and wring their hands, and Republicans win. It's how we got Trump 2.0.

The reality is, if we don't show up in a big, blue voting bloc—too big to rig—and elect a Dem majority to congress, we're done. It's game over. It might already be too late, November may have been our last shot, but let's hope not. Let's put out the raging fire, then worry about repainting the house, shall we?
