"we" couldn't even turn out in large enough number to vote against the fascist retaking control, in a safe, free, and fair election, i have no faith in this "we" you're referring to

fair election

Except for first-past-the-post, the electoral college, Citizen's United, several elections' worth of voter suppression, the general bias of the election towards privileged groups, etc.

The U.S. has never once had a fair election. Don't assume we can't win just because we couldn't beat a rigged system.
