I mean I'm here to do just that.
Do you have a plan to change Democrats?
I can tell you how to change Democrats and not voting for them won't work. You don't have to like it, but we ALL have to live with it. It's not just you and your principles on the line here.
https://runforsomething.net/ or STFU. Literally lives are on the line and being mad at the math doesn't change that or wash the blood off your hands when Republicans literally kill people and destroy lives. Sorry not sorry. Hating me for saying so doesn't make me wrong. Hating Dems for predictably being what they are and doing what they do doesn't mean they're not the ONLY weapon we have to defend ourselves and others against Republicans. That sucks, I hate it, but I'm not going to hurt the world and the people around me by giving into that and making objectively bad decisions and encouraging others to do so. In fact, I'm going to be here to call you out for it.
If you're actually doing something to change Democrats OR have a realistic idea of how to start an actually relevant third party in a country with first past the post voting, you might have a leg to stand on saying that, otherwise seriously STFU, I will die on this hill and come back for more.
EDIT: This is how you change the goddamn Democrats.
