        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.

            How does that happen?

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

      No there is a lesser chance. The worse the conditions get for the more support fascism gets.

      If Trump does not win this election, an even worse person will win the next one

        This, so much, this, I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

        The Democrats are ideologically incapable of dealing with fascism, they will not address the root causes, America will have an authoritarian in office within 8 years.

        Quite frankly if America can’t withstand trump’s decrepit, corrupt, senile version of fascism then we’re just going to fall to what ever ghoul the Republicans summon next.
