      Democracy cannot be permanently “fixed”, it can only be preserved via endless education and participation.

      Literally the only way to “fix” democracy is to participate in it.

        OK? How does that happen? Is there a Dem plan to drive democratic engagement, because they obviously haven’t done a good job of it yet. It seems like fear of Repubs is the main selling point to voting Dem, and it isn’t exactly a thrilling strategy.

          More people voted for Biden in the 2020 election than any other candidate in American history by a pretty significant margin, voter turnout in both midterms and general elections are at their highest points in 100 years, obviously something is working

            You have to know that a lot of those votes were “against Trump” more than they were “for Biden” right? Heartening to see such resistance to what Trump represents, to be sure, but it’s laughable to say that Biden earned those votes.

          How does that happen?

          It happens when I go canvas and vote, not complain about it on the internet like you.
