NAYRT--There isn't a magic strategy that will work to fix this, though?

Like, they have plans. None of them work without enough legislators working together, and I don't think they'll go in for murdering Republican legislators with Dem governors or something.

I vote in my local elections on up for the furthest left candidates who can actually articulate that they have a plan and what it is. Passion is awesome, but "I support the environment, PoC, legalized drugs, UBI, immigrants, and taxing the rich at 90%" is a statement of support, not a plan.

But then, I live in coastal California, so I am often picking between two leftist candidates, and almost every local office has a Democratic candidate of some description running.

In places where the only candidates are Mitch McConnell clones (evil, willing to break the rules to get his way) and Marjorie Taylor Greene clones (evil, thinks rules are an invention of Demoncratic baby eating lizard people) I can see how voting feels hopeless.

The dramatic, shut the government down via refusing to vote on or pass any legislation, debt ceiling default, no budget agreement so the federal government shuts down shit that the GOP does? Won't work for Democrats because at least some of them actually want to help people.

And if Democrats copied McConnell's strategy? The GOP would be fine with it, because their goal is to a) break the government beyond repair and b) enrich themselves and their rich donors c) make life suck for everyone who's not a rich cis straight white able-bodied evangelical Christian man. The Dems copying their "shut down the government, it's useless anyway" strategy gives them exactly what they want and nothing that Democrats do.

I wish nation wide ad campaigns that listed concrete stuff the Democrats have tried to give people (help with the cost of baby formula and gas, protection from price-gouging, cheap insulin, free pre-K school/daycare, guaranteed paid sick and maternity leave etc) and stuff they've actually given people that Republicans have already or want to take away (cheaper healthcare, cleaner air, cleaner water, subsidized internet, universal free school lunches, increased child tax credit etc) were a thing.

Maybe it's illegal to run ads that aren't about a specific candidate? Because I've never seen an ad that lays out "we want to give you things that make your life better, and Republicans keep stopping up, and the Republicans want to take away the good things the government currently does for you so they can take your taxes and give you nothing."
