Who can better endure the consequences of their choices - the rich elite who can change allegiances if things get really dire and maintain their current standard of living, more or less; or the people who are put under ever-increasingly oppressive economic, social, and civic systems by every GOP victory?
... I think the answer should be obvious.
The "We have to make the DNC SUFFER and then they'll give in!" is utterly divorced from reality. The DNC losing elections is not a serious form of suffering for them. Most of them are already rich; they'll be put out by losing power, but most will not meaningfully suffer from its loss. The rest of us, on the other hand, are trying to avoid RFK's camps for concentration.
The way we beat the DNC is either establishing a third party with a real chance of success, which means mass organizing and, especially, campaigning for offices other than president every four fucking years; or, like the Tea Party did, using a faction in the party (generally through participation in the primaries, which no one but fucking ancient centrist ghouls seem to fucking vote in) to take over the party entirely and replace the leadership with those who are aligned with our interests.
Or revolution. But that seems less likely than either of the other two options. Not that we may have a choice, depending on how successful the fascist regime is in the coming years.
