Whether we like it or not, the online front is significantly important to American politics now. A big reason why conservatives won is due to their dominance in online spaces. If we want to win this culture war, I believe its important we show massive support to any politician willing to take an aggressive and vocal stance against fascism.
This extends to content creators as well, in no world should "asmongold" be the biggest online political pundit opposed to someone like Mehdi or Legal Eagle.

It's better than nothing I guess. But the dems have been pretty useless as an opposition so far and it's depressing that tweets from newsome are currently the best on offer.
Although the US does have an inherent problem in its system (amongst many problems) in that there isn't a leader of the opposition in the same way as in parliamentary democracies. Political opposition and attention tends to coalesce around such people in places like the UK or Canada.
Trump managed to be defacto Republican leader while out of the white house, managing to get attention and interest despite in his base having no official role. The dems don't have a figurehead to unite them. Particularly as the party refuse to coalesce around popular voices like Bernie Sanders and others on the left who do seems.to be cutting through.
Truth. If the Do-Fuck-All Dems don't take this and run it down to the very last fascist... I don't even know. ๐ถ
