    Alternatively, one could disengage from the electoral system and instead focus on actions history has proven effective.

        The failed invasions and colonizations of Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc. were ended through brutal defeat despite decades of “democratic” support.

          So, going by you Mr answer, are you suggesting the appropriate non electoral response is to go fight in Gaza?

          Ummm, all of those came about via democracy?

          Edit: Also, most of those weren’t wars…

            None of those were the result of democracy.

              Are you maybe meaning to comment on another thread or something? Right now it looks like you’re trying to claim that “The New Deal, the Civil Rights Act, Women’s Lib, cessation of hostility in Vietnam, the Clean Water Act, the ADA” all of which (except maybe arguably Vietnam) were things passed by popular demand by a democratically elected government…

                Why did they pass them? You seem to have not studied any history at all.

                  There were mass movements that translated to electoral victory… In other words, democracy function led exactly as it should.

                    Oh no. They were mass movements that performed illegal actions and threatened more. We the People didn’t cast votes. We demanded what we deserved with a threat of violence.

            None of them were accomplished through the electoral system.
