So I've been worrying about a thing for a long, long while and never had a good way of vocalizing it, until I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAbab8aP4_A
My worry is that US Democrats are like Austrian generals in the words of Napoleon: always perfectly prepared for the *previous* battle.
And if they don't have some low, painful blows ready for November, things that would get Republicans fscking shell-shocked the way they kept shell-shocking everyone else, they are criminally naïve.

And to be even clearer on another point: I do not think the Democrats are "the best thing since sliced bread". And in a better time I would be the first to point out plenty of their faults.
But this is no better time. This is the choice between literal fascists, and an admittedly-not-progressive-enough party.
We can (and should) have that much-needed conversation about their many faults come January. Until then, it's all about getting the fascists out.
