And most democratic leadership is either too inept, bought out, or just actively enables our fascist takeover. They're uninterested in doing what's necessary to serve the public as opposed to serving themselves and their donors.

Nah Dems have been perfectly capable of doing that for decades.

You think people haven't been voting for them as a lesser of two evils despite their conduct?

So you'll vote for them regardless of what they do, enabling their conduct. The quote below was in the specific context of the black vote (using Malcom X's original language), but these days, it applies to basically the entire working class to some degree:

The Democrats have been in Washington, D.C. only because of the Negro vote. They've been down there four years. And they're – all other legislation they wanted to bring up they've brought it up, and gotten it out of the way, and now they bring up you. And now they bring up you! You put them first and they put you last. Because you're a chump! [applause] A political chump. - Malcom X (Source)
