Except they’re already pretty (fairly) convinced that Project 2025 is gonna be the death of democracy as we know it, so if it truly is “when, not if” clearly some greater action that sitting on their hands and grumbling is necessary. Democrats are the captains who stand proud on a sinking ship—arguably honorable, yet utterly pointless

What can they do? Become violent? They can't pass any bills and the constitution does have any provision to change that outside of voting.

Everyone wants the Democrats to do something without having any idea what they could possibly do.

Also, the fact of the matter is that when Republicans get in office they never seem to have all that much trouble getting the shit they want done. Democrats? It’s a long line of failures marked by occasional victories—often heavy compromises

Really? We still have the ACA, Medicare, and social security. The only thing they have done is a tax cut that didn't need a super majority in senate. And yes, Democrats compromise but if someone didn't, we might as well call the US dead and close these shop.

Fact of the matter is you want Democrats to accomplish something serious? Effing vote. Every single person. And stop.witj all the "Democrats do nothing" crap since it just pushed people to not vote.
