Neither the Dem leadership nor any celebrity, not even Bob Dylan, will be the saviours of democracy.

It’s up to us.

We must elect those who will uphold the constitution, protect democracy, shun donations from anti-democracy elements like the cryptocurrency industry, and are committed to removing anti-democracy obstructions like the filibuster (but not essential protections like labor laws,OSHA, building and zoning regulations and Environmental impact studies) in order to get shit done.
