The solution to that problem is for every registered Democratic voter to turn out at every election. If they did that, we would not have to worry about the GOP or their corrupt enablers.

Ok so teach me how to make people care! I am the silent majority I had thought but since I was a republican who 😞 voted the wrong way in 2016 then watched the world in our little corner go to shit and I prayed for clarity to understand if I was wrong which everyone around me said I wasn't and offered every bs excuse for actual ungodly behavior & finally Jan 6th happened and I lost half my family then my dad to covid after becoming fully hate indoctrinated from calm church elder school bus driver. I had to learn so I did and I get it but NOONE wants to hear it. I am in Duval County Florida and I am so scared for my kids and myself. I voted I try to get the kids teens and a twenty yr old but she just like me, listened to the man of the family the so called Christian that is a Republican and the irony is lost on all of them.
I'm not doing what-aboutism anymore. The two parties are clearly not the same at this point. No party will ever be perfect. I am talking about child labor here. That's a specific topic where they are not the same. And they are also not the same on LGBT, trans, people of color. The Democrats are not a fascist party, they didn't try to overthrow the government for a despot who didn't want to accept losing, they don't oppress minorities and they certainly know women are their base. So, let's not go here unless you're prepared to debate me with facts on the record.
I’m a dyed-in-the-wool progressive, wrote Bernie a letter early 2000’s asking him to run for President after seeing him interviewed several times. I live in Florida so am well aware of the hate and cruelty of this newly minted Republican Party a la Trump. I’m suggesting the system is rigged. All members of congress are estimated to spend 30 hours/wk or 6-8 hr/day dialing for dollars. The winners, be they candidates or legislation, depend usually on the most money spent. I receive about 15-20 emails and texts/day soliciting donations. It applies to both parties. Democrats have the majority in the Senate, but Sinema, Manchin, Schumer, Gillebrand, others, in the end will serve their self-interests and their donors. If you could get every Dem to try to vote, they have to deal with ballot drop boxes having been removed in Democratic districts, restricted (no Sundays) early voting, long lines after work at their polling places where no one can offer them food or water, complicated qualifying criteria for mail-in ballots, being turned away or having to cast provisional ballots due to voter purges and voter suppression laws. More Democrats than Republicans though did vote in the last few elections, but gerrymandering and the electoral college in most states disenfranchises many voters (myself included.) Montana, low population and California, huge population, each have 2 senators so hardy representative or democratic. So I was trying to give a simple response without having to say all that.

I recommend Do the Work! An Antiracist Activity Book
Book by Kate Schatz and W. Kamau Bell as a starting point.
I can appreciate your thinking but am sorry to suggest there are many corrupt Congressional Democrats who are beholden to their donors.
