it has been nothing moreso than the repeated failure of far too many folks on our side to turn out -- particularly in 2010, 2014 and 2016 -- which has enabled/given us our current already disastrous and continuing to rapidly further deteriorate state of affairs
all the marches, demonstrations and protests in the world mean jack shit if folks don't turn out to vote; if folks had turned out to vote, particularly in 2010, 2014 and 2016, there'd be no need for the present marches, demonstrations and protests
