To answer the question asked in the meme, no it doesn’t. We have two problems. One is a Democratic party that is largely run for the benefit of the ruling class and not the workers. The other is a Republican party that is actively trying to overthrow the government and replace it with a dictatorship. They are both serious problems, but they are not the same. The Democrats still acknowledge the rule of law and can be fought within the system. If the Republicans get what they want, there will be no system and the Democratic problem will become irrelevant.
You have to avoid disaster before you deal with anything else.
The disaster is here. The dictator is here. There will not be a shred of liberal democracy until the king is dead, as that is the only way he’ll leave office. All efforts need to focus on hitting the ground running in rebuilding a functional system once the fascists fumble without their lynchpin, and that requires people better than fascist wannabes like Newsom or weaklings like Schumer. It needs people willing to set capital aside in favor of your precious rule of law, and that is not most of the Democratic party right now.
We cannot fix useless politicians, only replace them building upwards from a local level. Any strategy that expects us to rely on the right of the party is doomed. If the strategy isn’t bold and questioning of the party, it will never work.
