    I’m sorry but just going for the marginalised groups is not going to win them the next election. They have to be fighting for the working people which, includes marginalized groups, because just playing violin strings about the hardships of small sects of society is not going to bare any fruit from others who aren’t in that cohort more worried about keeping themselves fed and a roof over their heads.

    But of course, the large financial backers of the DNC wouldn’t go for that. That’s why they so aggressively pushed “support” for these groups in the first place, using their sorrows and plight as political shields.

    It’s almost like the general populace NEED TO BE TAUGHT about what makes up the government and what it does.

    Look, whatever political philosophy you ascribe to, you need to understand what government institutions exist and what they do so:

    1. You can understand where your tax is being spent.

    2. Which ones you should contact for the appropriate service or issue resolution.

    3. When you start becoming politically aware, you can form opinions on how you think these functions should or should not be performed by your ideal institution (or individuals).

    And

    1. They SHOULD be both celebrated and criticized so the public are informationally and emotionally invested in these institutions that impact your (whole) life directly or indirectly. That, in the ideal scenario, encourages an informed and engaged populace that can work collectively to improve these institutions.

    These institutions, like anything built by humans, need to be maintained, upgraded, remodeled, or replaced effectively for human society to continue to exist. You’ll have ideas about what ones, why, and how and we should get to hear about those ideas and discuss them.

    That ONLY happens properly when people have at least some idea of what they’re talking about.

    Else this is what you get; some unelected Muppet treating it like a spaghettied server and pulling random ethernet cables out and listening for what screams.

    1. Not an anarchist, socialist democracy enthusiast.

    2. Rent my own place and contribute to society.

    3. I’m dealing with issues in my own country and therefore getting my own house in order. Sort your own house out or stop whining that you’re wallowing in sadness and garbage.

    You don’t have to take up arms, but that’s a huge risk when confronting those whom have and want to end your democracy.

    Just do SOMETHING: join one protest, or distribute one leaflet, or donate one time to an organisation that’ll be resisting against the orange fuck.
