This was the exact shit said in 2020 and for years before that. There is no 'next generation Democrat' because the Dems are just as complicit in this farce as the Republicans. I refuse to vote for the party of "maybe we'll try to slow the rapid descent into christofascist capitalism just a little a bit, as long as it doesn't make the shareholders mad."
It's called "compromise" to make progress. Giving up allows the situation you're complaining about to only get worse.
We have to change our voting system in order to break out of the two party system, and only one of the two parties have people that support changing our voting system for the better. So, as shitty as it is, not voting Democrat is effectively voting against your own interests.
You think that one of the two major parties will help you do away with the voting system that favors the major parties? This is not how it works. Having a few people that support change in the party is meaningless as long as it is not a stated objective (which it isn't)
