I will vote for whoever is nominated Democrat in this election, because the fascists are too much of a risk to permit.
And I will make mental note of every senior Democrat whose name I can find who argued for subverting the will of the electorate, who pushed this into a situation where we are getting a nominee who was chosen not by the people, but by the party elites. And I will donate to their primary challengers come the next election. I will write postcards. I may even unbend enough to make calls. (I hate making calls.)
Because removing American democracy cannot be allowed to stand. From either party.
(Once upon a time I had a lot of respect for Nancy Pelosi. Now? Now she needs to be out, if she was the ringleader on this. Not this election, but in the next primary. I am a single-issue voter on the subject of "democracy continues to exist," and the Dems pulling a nicer, politer version of it doesn't mean that's not what they did here. This is Democrats taking a page out of the fascist playbook and in the primaries when it's safe to do so they need to be scathingly electorally rebuked for it.)
