praying fascism loses again in the end

Well, that's what pretty much everyone on the far left is doing, which is going to do absolutely nothing to change anything, and that's my point. Tear down the Dems and the not-progressive-enoughs all you want, at least they have their asses out there trying to do something instead of literally waiting to die.

There's an idea on the left about building horizontally, or from the ground up, for there to be something to fall back on after the inevitable collapse of capitalism. These are things like community food systems, mutual aid, cooperatives, land trusts, etc. The left is active in local politics, supporting unions, organizing, and so on. Not all of us that worry this system may be beyond saving are actually just waiting to die, but doing what we can where we can with limited resources.

The dems "trying" to do something is fucking meaningless, also the thing they are trying to do, is to generally stop the gov from going more right, never reversing direction. And you can mock the left hoping things change, but unfortunately the left has been effectively removed from politics, so outside of the outrage bubbling over into revolution there is a single thing the left can do. You must live in a different reality from me i guess, enjoy it, sounds nicer than the real world.
