    There’s real immediate harm you create by voting for the Democrats under current leadership, and that’s opportunity cost. You’re allowing a group which is doing nothing to combat Trump and the GOP to maintain positions of power and organize resistance to them to their own benefit.

    No Kings is the best you’re going to get out of them, and it’s nowhere near enough.

      There is currently no alternative to the left of the Democrats that has a credible path to power. It is not an “immediate harm” to undermine an alternative which is not even considered a genuine threat by the establishment.

      Build those alternatives, sure, but they are not going to overturn the current system overnight.

        The Democrats have no credible path to stopping the GOP, demonstrated more than once.

        Credible is just nonsense to justify refusing politics by the lazy.
