It goes beyond voter turnout, as well. After the elections over, win or lose, we need to stay engaged. If Biden had to answer for his policy on Isreal in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 we may have an entirely different outcome. At the very least you need to let the status quo die. If you think the DNC is just A O K 'same as it's ever been' please escort your way toward the door. We need the party to turn full progressive then put itself to bed by implementing voting reform.

This is how we save each other from authoritarian oppression, from climate apocalypse, and from violent revolution.

I can only assure you of two things, it's never been done before and your government doesn't want it to happen.
