I feel your pain, several years ago I made Thanksgiving dinner for about 15 friends, everything prepped the day before, and we had a hard ice that night, everything frozen over and no one showed
And all of that non biodegradable fast fashion will continue polluting our environment for decades.
There is no changing or reforming from within, the system is working exactly as intended. The wealthy will never allow us to vote away their wealth. We have no political influence within the party itself, only money has that influence. When 1 billionaire has more political influence than an entire state of voters, there is no reforming that system. The only possibility for change is to let one of the parties completely burn to the ground..
Of the 7800 State Legislators across the US, only 116 come from the working class. We cannot afford the multi millions of dollars necessary to run a campaign, we are priced out of our own democracy.
Fascism cannot flourish without the presence of a ineffective, weak liberal party. The Democrat ratchet effect that prevents right wing legislation from ever slipping back to something more progressive enables right wing fascism. An enabler is just as complicit in the action as the person committing the action.
