I feel like people here are very cynical about the “democracy under attack” stuff. Obviously democrats are politicizing it, overhyping it, and suck ass in general. But that doesn’t mean fascism isn’t coming. What’s the disconnect here?

This was actually a great video. We have to remember the point isn't to abandon electoralism entirely. There is still a point to, as Lenin put it, participate in bourgeois parliaments.
Not only to demonstrate their limits but to do real harm reduction and platform socialist ideals.
I also use the toolbox analogy when telling people why it's important to read all sorts of theory from all sorts of tendencies. They are tools in our revolutionary toolbox.
It was one of my favorites in a while from him. I also didn’t understand harm reduction on a practical level for a long time until I started following some recovery & addiction communities. Basically, you can’t get clean if you’re dead.
