    Yes, which is why you have to combine that with grassroots movements. Just voting third party or for Trump gets fascists elected, and voting is therefore just loss prevention. To move to the left and improve things, Unionization, protesting, and organizing from the bottom-up is necessary.

      It’s not even loss prevention. It’s slightly delaying outright fascism. The Democratic Party has no interest in anything more ambitious.

      You’re correct. The only major party that keeps insisting that it protects the vulnerable doesn’t. I hope unions will do what Democrats refuse to.
