    Your idealistic idea of what “democracy” means has never existed in the United States, but if you want anything close to it, you’re going to have to win it within the confines of the current system. The right seems to understand that, and they’re close to succeeding. Throwing your hands up and not voting for the only realistic chance of not devolving into an autocracy is a choice too, regardless of the principle you’re standing on to do it.
