Maybe stop blaming political parties and start blaming yourselves for still believing in democracy as it exists at all in 2024. Believing in democracy and defending it is part of the same anti-intellectual tradition that created Trump. If this version of Trump getting elected
still doesn't make you question the entire concept of the democratic system as we know it and make you turn to political philosophy and political science to look for better ways, then you deserve Trump and he is
your president.
And the sad thing is that the only hope defenders of democracy have of avoiding Trump right now is a woman they didn't even vote for to have as a candidate. If she wins, they'll say democracy won and that it proves the system works because at least Trump was avoided. Sh*t is a religion.
