Democrats and their supporters have been lulled into a false sense of political efficacy through social media, mistaking online engagement for meaningful action, which distracts from the difficult work of real-world organizing.

Liberals have failed to build political power by neglecting traditional, offline organizing and community-building in favor of creating "digital avatars," which prevents the formation of real relationships and effective political movements.

We are not going out and actually making friends and joining clubs and doing all the things that I used to do in the 90s when I was a teenager."

Democrats and liberals have made a strategic error by ceding the issue of gun ownership to the right wing, thereby losing a powerful tool for political organizing, a symbol of political power, and a constitutional right that could be used for leverage.

The Democratic party has failed to reform a fundamentally outdated and unrepresentative system of government that is no longer functional in a modern context.

• Flawed Economics & Corporate Servitude
• Process-Driven Governmental Failure

• "I think that even before Trump, most of us could agree that the American government is horribly unrepresentative. It is a situation where you know the Senate over represents these states with no people in it who control the conversation at the legislative level so that policies can't get pushed through. We need like a whole new idea of government because our constitution was made 250 years ago and it's a little bit outdated."

The political system, including Democrats, is beholden to wealthy donors, such as those from the cryptocurrency industry, leading politicians to act against the country's best interests (like undermining the US dollar) to benefit their benefactors.
