Cool-aide, silos and two parties who both neglected the little guy given that their wealthy backers can't stomach doing so. Yes the Democrats ignore them less (Joe Biden's effort to forgive student loans) but it wasn't enough, and Trump says what desperate people want to hear I guess.
Everything is "very obvious ” with 20/20 hindsight.
This isn't good advice for everyone. It might not even be good advice for most people. However, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it would be good for you to do this.

That's one interpretation of what it could mean but one I expect is overly simplistic.
There is a difference between being happy with fascism and not feeling motivated enough to resist it. If the tide has any chance of turning towards what would be more healthy it will have to come by creating a platform that really excites and motivates a large number of people to invest in it. It has to feel authentic to those who are feeling unmotivated today eg the millions of former Biden voters who did not turn out. It should activate people who are not reliable voters to genuinely support the cause.
I'm no leftist but I do agree that Democrats and others whose main goals are to leave unchallenged the status quo of growing wealth inequality cannot win going forward. The promise of a truly experienced greater tangible quality of life, enough food, affordable housing, access to affordable medical care, debt relief, high minimum wages and/or UBI, etc would move the needle better towards excitement and engagement than abstractions like defence of democracy. "A chicken in every pot". We need another FDR. We need a strong middle class and that has to mean powerful unions.

Nicely done

That's very un-dude, dude.
And Mr Rogers too
That's a good composition but an even better recording.
Raised within a grift. Never having been encouraged to think outside the grift. Essentially, they are part of the Borg. I'd feel sorry for them if they weren't so completely dangerous to anything that isn't them.
