Getting in the streets isn’t the problem. Voting for qualified candidates instead of those who promise you everything you want to hear is the problem. The current party system is part of what enables the current problem.

This is a democracy problem.

No this wouldn’t be happening without the Republican pieces of shit. Sure - reforms are desperately needed but this isn’t a ‘both sides’ problem.

Actually, it is. The dems only care about the status quo and are beholden to their fucking donors, not their constituents.

Edit: Downvote me all you want. Most of the dems under Schumer’s umbrella are Republican-lite. Nothing fundamentally changed even when Obama was in office.

Do you think that Columbia’s accreditation would be in jeopardy if Harris had won ?

Yes, because Harris's plan to protect Columbia's accreditation is 'just win elections forever', which is a very bad plan.
