“They want us to spend money, and for what? For no message, no organization, no forward thinking. … The thing that’s clear to a lot of us is that the party never really learned its lesson in 2016. They worked off the same playbook and the same ineffective strategies and to what end?”
It’s a rational position. “Tell me what my money will actually accomplish after all these failures.”

Being the longest running democracy (though flawed) is encouraging. The rabbit hole of US politics is daunting. I try to not get too emotionally invested.
I don’t think the timeline is relevant. Rome didn’t exactly fall in a day, it turned from a republic into proud empire as conditions for the plebs degraded, and … well, that’s helpful to bear in mind.
And Iran went from mini skirts to burqas in three years.
How quickly we forget.
