      The US isn’t a democracy. Its rare for people’s votes to lead to positive outcome.

      People should vote, but they MUST do direct action to bring about positive change, especially for fighting systemic & entrenched racism. That’s more important

          everything happening right now now is happening because millions less people voted in 2024 than in 2020

          This is just wrong according to newer studies. https://www.npr.org/2025/06/26/nx-s1-5447450/trump-2024-election-non-voters-coalition

          I think dems lost because the campaign they ran on was “remember the last 4 years? It’s gonna be the same again! No real change” and it completely distanced themselves from those who are struggling due to inflation, the job market, etc. Trump promised “change” and that’s all the people want. It doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad change, but that’s why Trump won in my opinion. The dems need to push for and talk about “change” in the next midterms or else this country is lost.
