I have no problem with democrats ‘sticking together’ as far as voting blue next election, but don’t sit back after you’ve done that.
The seeds for fascism in the USA are the same ones that were in Germany when Hitler rose - rampant inequality and poverty leading to desperate people leading to christian nationalism, and later fascism. I hate to break it to you but a Democratic party with no one to the left of them has no incentive to fix the root problems, and every incentive to stay on the take and then escape to their favorite country with their wealth if they push it too far.
Campaign finance reform, election reform, labor reform … pick a cause and find some friends. We cannot have a democracy without working for it. Fascism will rise in the absence of effort.

What we need is a left-wing candidate to win a primary, and pull the party to the left the way Bush and Trump pulled their party to the alt-right
