Ok, we've further ceded all elections to Republicans and now they're throwing all leftists and dissenters in prison/camps and have ruined the economy, the education system, started a bunch of wars we can't fund nor win, ruined the environment and privatized every public good. Now what?

Do you think the Democrats would not do the same if a revolutionary movement was built up? They don't even like this wave of social democrats taking office and are working to disrupt that. The tasks remain the same: educate, agitate, organize. Study theory, spread it and create a correct political line, and create a comprehensive political party that is dominated by the working classes.

No, I do not think Democrats would do all of the things I outlined above that I think would happen if Christofascist conservatives got complete power for consecutive terms.

If that's the case, then you need to dig back into how rooting out socialists and communists was and still is a bipartisan affair, how imperialism and genocide are bipartisan, and that nominally being more socially progressive does not mean the DNC pulls punches when demonizing labor organizing.

Given that all those things are already happening, with most Democrats refusing to put up any sort of effective resistance, you don't really have a point.
