you still aren’t making any actual proposals for what they should be doing

Because what you're looking for is some kind of policy proposal or voting strategy to stop a fascist movement, and I'm telling you that we're beyond that.

Democrats should be physically impeding the dismantling of our institutions - that means disrupting the normal proceedings of congress and the legislature in order to raise the alarm, or at the very least not punishing the members of the party who are, and not breaking the line to side with the republicans when it actually matters (Schumer is the fucking minority leader, not some random spoiler).

When the strategy of the minority leader of the senate is to cooperate with the republicans in tearing apart the government in the hopes that voters blame them for a dip in the stock market 2 years from now and vote them out, it tells their constituents that they don't really believe we're witnessing the end of democracy. One of the top 2028 presidential contenders welcomed a white nationalist onto his podcast to talk about the 'real concerns' with transgender participation in sports. The DNC chair is out in public soliciting donations from "the good billionaires" while the base is setting records rallying against oligarchy.

The democratic party would rather collaborate with the reactionaries in the conservative party than recon with the growing populism in their own base, and that's the entire-fucking point.
