PS.

I would for vote Kamala. I would vote for a cactus with sunglasses if it had the Democratic nomination. You would do yourself well to consider anything that is weaking the resolve of the anti-trump sentiment straight poison to your brain. We have only one job this novemeber and that is to stop trump. The Supreme Court has given him the status of king. Quit acting like your vote is sacred and start realizing your vote is your final cry before your rights are forfeited.

Short term, pressure for replacing Biden. November, vote if you can stomach it. Thereafter, get involved with your state party. March. If you're in a red state then you have a unique position of running on more progressive things that are actually people oriented. That's what led to Democrats taking state wide offices in Arizona. You aren't beholden to the DNC's mega donors.

If you're in a blue state plan to help primary an establishment Democrat.

Don't shirk away because you can't do it yourself, that's an unrealistic expectation. Organize your friends, your coworkers, your commuter bus, etc.

Nothing in politics is "over" if you can get a critical mass of people to agree to change things. And it's really the only way off this manufactured consent treadmill for corporate power and profits we've been on for the last 40 years.

Edit to add- Confining the question to November is a logical fallacy. We aren't that close to the election that we can do nothing but vote. So that's pretty much just another attempt to get people to turn their brain off, vote, and then sit around waiting for the next thing their told to do. If we don't "activate" and start acting independently of big money then we aren't going to have a democracy come 2028, no matter which person is elected now. Biden is a vote for an Authoritarian Oligarchy. Which isn't "Fascism" in a technical sense, but it's not going to feel much different for you and me.
