It ends when a right wing dictator gets installed and consolidates a nondemocratic form of government. That will be the end, for all of us, of the dilemma that few presidential administrations do everything we wish they would do on really important subjects.

I get your frustration, really, but understand that while you're trying to defend liberal electoral politics, what you're describing is just that the American republic is in a death spiral that liberal electoral politics cannot break and the only choice is fascism now or later.

Until recently I thought it might end (well, at least give us some breathing space) if 70% of electorate came out and Dems won the hat trick. Until recently I thought it might end (well, at least give us some breathing space) if 70% of electorate came out and Dems won the hat trick...

No it doesn't end there. Political actions and change doesn't end simply because elections stop happening. How are you this stupid?

As long as the Dem nominee is a doddering mummy whose approval rating is underwater even in California, I will not accept that Democrats actually believe this, even if I do think they are sleepwalking into a catastrophe.

Maybe democrats should govern like they give a damn about preventing that then

Or (optimistic version) when consistently voting blue grinds the Republican party out of power so long that Dems split into two viable parties. Can only happen if we do the first part though.

That already happened like 40 years ago. It just didn’t happen to you because you live in a walled garden. America has never been democratic in any significant way.
