General Discussion

What if you're not a Democrat? I'm a Trotskyist. For me the Democratic Party is a dead end because it supports my hated class enemy the bourgeoisie. I asked the question because I think that the BEST that the Dem Party can do in the age of Trump is to BECOME an opposition party rather than a compromise party. So I'm asking Democrats about this.

The second point is how will a resister, even if he/she IS a lifelong Democrat, be heard if he/she has not been active, other than voting, in the past? From what I can see, it take several years to even be considered for local offices even inside of the party, much less for elected offices. If it takes 3 to 4 years (or more) to even become recognized enough to be heard, what is to be done if the Dems need to become an opposition party within the next six months?
