Dismantling the systemic privilege funnelling America’s worth into the pockets of the top 1%, will meet strong resistance. Struggle is literally THE JOB. “Moderate” elite Dems like Pelosi don’t want to derail that privilege train they’re on, so they claim that change isn’t worth a struggle.

In your world, the GOP, who always lower taxes for the rich when they have majority/power, don't exist. You'll probably continue to say "But the Dems" while the GOP dismantle democracy & cause devastation to the US/world. Loss of USAID alone might result in 14mil dead. www.bbc.com/news/article...

In your world, change is neither possible nor necessary.Your world must be one of privilege for you to be so willing to to see America go on forever like this — Americans the toy being punted back and forth between two fat parties of robber barrons. Demand change in the Dem Party. Flex some muscle

I vote with Black women. Civil rights & voting rights are my issues. Blood was shed to gain those rights. Privilege is not being able to differentiate actual threat from perceived threat. Privilege is to throw away hard won change & ignore consequences & the people most affected by them.

Until every vote, for any party, wins equal representation in Congress our votes are an illusion, used by the plutocrats to keep us compliant. The system you seem to want to defend LED US HERE. It doesn’t have to be like this. We can demand change. It starts with #Proportional_Representation

Some people live in the here and now, and the choices available in the here and now. If you think 2024 votes were an illusion, then which alternative reality do you live in that insulates you from reality and its consequences?

If you are content with with how things have turned out with the system as it is, then by all means carry on with the limited choices they’ve put on your plate.

Many successful democracies around the world use Proportional Representation elections: Everyone represented by the party of their choice, no vote splitting, no gerrymandering, no governing without at least 50% of the voters supporting. It statistically gives better voter turnout, higher approval
