They aren’t the ones who are undoing the achievements. The rich rightwingers are doing it. They employ a bunch of different channels, including some amount of useful idiots on the left, who are doing their bidding without understanding.
The right can do it because they aren’t bound by any morals, or adherence to decorum, or fear of retaliation, or fear of change in general. Dems are the party of moderate gradual adherence to status quo and maybe moderate change for slightly better, if it’s not too bothersome. And the left for some reason hates the second more that the first, so they aren’t helping.
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
If you agree the Democrats are aiming for “adherence to the status quo and maybe moderate change for the slightly better, if it’s not too bothersome” and you still don’t understand why that isn’t good enough for people being disappeared by agents of the state, I just don’t know what to tell you.
Of course it’s not enough. It’s all you have. There is no other big force that can do anything in US. Progressive movement doesn’t exist, and whatever disjointed groups are out there can’t even elect a representative if their life depends on it (it does). The sad truth is, you either support status quo party in their lukewarm attempts to combat the darkness, or you don’t, and darkness consumes you.
America chose the latter, and nobody forced them to make this choice, they did it by themselves.

Holy false dichotomy, Batman!
Maybe you picked the latter, I guess. But feel free to be quiet while the rest of us work to support our communities and try to push Democrats to be less useless.
By sitting on your ass dreaming of firebombing Wallmart, and spamming the word genocide all over the internet, you collectively chose the latter. Now you pretend you’re going to push someone somewhere or build something. But you weren’t able to build enough momentum to go vote once, with this skill and energy, the only community you’re going to be supporting is a community of fungi between your toes.
I don’t know, maybe you personally did everything correctly (it’s the internet afterall, we’re all perfect here on anonimous forums), but judging by this conversation, I assume you were among the online forces trying to come up with new and exciting ways to combine the words genocide and joe together. Which, undeniably, led to some people, when facing the unfortunately real dichotomy of american general election, chosing the dark path.
