Why?
What's "is ought" bro? You can't just say random stuff and expect us to finish your thought, elucidate.

I'm not sure what these 3 do all day but I can tell from the way they look it's not fucking.
Such a charming fellow, I pray fascism isn't on the rise and I hope it doesn't infest your country as well.
But of course that could never happen because you'd stop them, right?
You organize and push policies you want. Push for RCV, push for candidates that'll support what you want, show up to protest with your peers. You organize petition drives and collect signatures. Community organizing is a field all it's own and there are a dozen ways to engage but engaging is the critical part. There are other steps to take that organization will be important for but I'm not going to start fedposting. Being organized is the only path forward.
I love seeing little clones parroting the same anti-gun BS they've been spooned for the last 3 decades like fascists aren't seizing power right now.
Organizing and acting is how you accomplish goals.
That you see organizing and establishing community as "dismissal" and "prepping" speaks volumes.
We've made great strides locally, what used to be a "queer hiking group" is now talking about secure communications and organizing a range day soon. We're making actual progress and forming a support network for our friends and families. But yeah I'm not doing anything and your demoralizing progressive voters online is going to accomplish a lot.
Edit: I can give you more concrete steps if you'd like. If you're willing to give me a rough geographic location I can probably even locate existing group(s) around you that would likely be receptive to help
Organize offline, meet people in your community, shitposting online isn't going to do anything. Reference my previous comment, organize locally with like minded people and start preparing for things to get really bad.
ORGANIZE IN REAL LIFE AND STOP NAYSAYING ANY ATTEMPTS AT PROGRESS.
How do we restore trust in democratic primaries?
Now that's actual real question that contributes to the conversation.
I mean, besides telling anyone who notices the problem to shut up?
I'll tell whiny little crybabies to shut up all day long if they're not contributing shit. You should try it, it's harder than snarky thought-terminating cliches but you can make actual progress that way.
If arguing against strawmen makes you feel good then you can continue doing that. I know righteousness feels good but you're completely missing the point.
That's what you took from that entire statement?
OK then, I think I've discovered the problem. Have a nice day.
I'm working in real life to organize which is a hell of a lot more useful than trying to demoralize progressives online. I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety.
Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.
Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Get a gun (or two) and learn how to use them. Establish secondary lines of communication and start preparing. Put in the work instead of suppressing people who are on your side.

Regressive sounds right, the opposite of progress is regress. The republican party is the regressive party.
