Can I use this thread for a general gripe about political discourse on the Left?

Every day, there’s a new outrage from some conservative. They have done something awful, said something awful, committed a crime, demanded that a Democrat be “executed” for something they just made up.

And the response on Twitter is always, “well don’t ask me to vote for Democrats if they don’t DO SOMETHING about this!”

I understand the frustration and I feel it too. But the anger is always directed the wrong way. Not at the people doing bad things, but at the only people standing between us and all-out authoritarianism. And these voices of apathy and despair are winning. They are loud. And they are the voices who will prevail in November when Democrats, as they did in 2016, opt out of the process and let the fascists back in.
