I don't have anything to editorialize about this. The video is by Steve Shives, it's called Saving American Democracy in Two Simple Steps, and the steps are Progressives need to stop whining and participate and elected Dems need to stop cowering, embrace their Democratic heritage, and fight the fascists.
Here are some key excerpts.
To progressives:
I just want to ask my fellow progressives, because I am a progressive, I am also a member of the Democratic party, and all I want to propose to my fellow progressives in the United States who are frustrated with the Democrats and how centrist they are and how moderate they are and how the Democrats are the lesser of two evils and the party isn’t doing what we really need it to do to combat the problems in this country and push back the rising tide of fascism...all I want to ask my fellow progressives who are in that category that I attempted to describe, I just want to ask you for two days, every two years. That’s the bare minimum of what I would like for you to contribute to this project.
He’s talking about voting in primaries and general elections.
To Elected Democrats:
I don’t know if you’ve fuckin’ noticed, but the things that the Republicans are just openly announcing that they want to do if they get back in the Whitehouse and if they take control of the Senate and they increase their majority in Congress, the kinds of things they’re just coming right out and saying they want to do, are fucking terrifying. And the only thing that stands between that and freedom and democracy, or some semblance of those things that we currently have, is the Democratic motherfucking party, and their nominee for President and their candidates for Congress and the United States Senate, and on a lower but no less important level, the various offices that are up for grabs in statehouses all across this country. The Democratic party, for all of its flaws, for all of its imperfections, for all of its failures and shortcomings, that’s the only wall between the deeply flawed democracy that we have right now and fascism, authoritarianism. So you all really need to win this fucking election. And it would be nice if you acted like you were trying to win. If you acted like you fuckin’ deserved to win. Because you have the best candidates and the best ideas, and you’re going to take this country in the right direction.
Amen.
