If both parties are equally “bad”, why would this be a problem for just Democrats?
The more obvious answer is that the two “sides” are working class vs. super-wealthy. The wealthy keep control by appealing to voters from every background.
IMHO, the way to solve this issue is to vote for candidates who are willing to say “Tax the rich”. (Or “Tax the Epstein class”, I really like that motto!)
Nihilism is a problem and the step before that is Cynicism. We can’t really know the person but we can know their fruits: are they spending their energy (outside of voting and shit posting) to enact positive change? If the answer is yes, no matter how futile, then they are not the problem
I think most people are more willing to be apathetic than energized if they accept that their choices amount to little to no change.
Probably, but it’s also the truth. Enthusiasm is worthless if it’s directed in the wrong direction.
Most people can see that their choices result in little to no change without anyone having to point to it, and will sit out elections regardless.
Democrats refusing to address that apathy is the problem, not people making it known.

Because reactionary movements offer an alternative explanation to systemic failures that are easier than challenging systemic forces that create them
