How exactly does "picketing, protesting, demonstrating, taking action, making noise" affect change against those issues, when the Democrats will just ignore you and get your vote anyway?

You don't think you can affect change outside of your vote?

I'm really wondering if next election cycle we're gonna hear people say "we've got to vote them in first then pull them left" again. It was a notably absent phrase this past election. Biden most certainly did not move left from his "Fundamentally nothing will change." platform.

Well, I was reliably told by ten million Vote Blue No Matter Who people that there wouldn't be another elections if Trump won, so I guess we'll just never know...
