The US is still fixable if young people will just fucking vote. Irreparable damage has been done, which means the old structures are gone, but they can be replaced with new ones -- a hypothetical Democratic president would need to clean house top to bottom. Obama's greatest flaw was that he didn't see the need to do that after Shrub.
In several states we have moved well beyond "fixable". For instance, in Texas, where they are outright saying that they are redrawing districts with the explicit goal of preventing Democrats from being represented. Not only that, they're saying they campaigned on the promise and are therefore obligated by their constituents to institute a single party state through the denial of representation of their political opponents.
I genuinely don't believe the US can be fixed anymore. We're on a slip-and-slide and far too much damage has been done to stop it. There aren't even adults left at the table to try.
I don't fall in the ring category, but I will be voting Democrat for the first time. That's how bad this is getting for me. I have real reasons to hate the Democrats as a party, but I'm scared of them less than the modern Republicans .
