Voting for the best possible option in every primary, every election. Supporting the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power is the least we should expect from politicians.

This has been making the rounds again and I think it’s one of the most unintentionally revealing things I’ve seen posted. According to this, the job of getting rid of Republicans belongs to elected Dems, not voters. I see variations on this all the time, just usually not spelled out so clearly.

A lot of takes have a background assumption somewhere that voters did not actually want to elect Trump, and if you take that to be true, your natural next explanation is that Trump’s opposition must have blown it in some unforgivable way, either campaign-wise or by messing up procedurally

I reject the whole premise of this thread because what it describes is...just literally democracy? The whole point is the "republic if you can keep it". There is no point where you can go on autopilot and the conceit that we can is exactly how we got the racist reality show host as a president.
i don't like "steelmanning" but i do want to say that the discussion around "we have to vote all the time to keep out fascism" has never really addressed the core of the issue, which is that it gets tiring for every election to be "the most important election of our lifetimes."

I think unfortunately, the “don’t have every election be the most important election of your lifetime” ship sailed in 2016.
Being locked out of the presidency for 3+ elections forces moderation, and the American electorate was too flaky to do that even with an actual fascist on the ballot.

Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.

for instance, one paper found that democratizing events in European countries became much more likely after any OTHER European country experienced a revolution
so perhaps a revolution in the U.S. would shore up Canadian democracy, but it might just leave us with a newer, shinier autocracy

“burn the entire democracy down and start over” is an opinion equivalent to “apocalyptic times are good because the rapture is coming and I’ll go to heaven” in that it’s a way people give themselves permission to do none of the complex and difficult things that would make things a little better now
