The screw up that your generation made was merely voting for the lesser evil, and not attempting to run and campaign for the furthest left people that would create real change. You don’t stop at voting for the lesser evil, you also push into the next election with the goal to shove them out

Correct. There is not a single politician that is capable of it. The nature of democracy is that any change requires movement and many supporters.

It basically has never been self defense.
