yea, i'm pretty sure that whole "vote them out" ship sailed a long time ago. not only have fascists infiltrated and wrecked pretty much every board of elections that had any hint of purple, but way too many millions of people are cheering and celebrating their new fascist authoritarian police state

Sanders is old enough to remember previous fascist regimes, so I'm surprised he still seems to believe what he's saying.

Don't get me wrong, Sanders is one of the few sane politicians left in the US, but democrats need to start thinking outside of the box. Relying on the next election for change just seems a little naive.
