    We vote, the winner takes office.

    Vote based on their hand picked candidates. Your choices are manufactured for their benefit. We saw how quickly the oligarchy shifted policy when the candidate they didn’t want won the WH with Carter. We saw how they responded when their power was under threat with Bernie. We see how they subvert the process by keeping 3rd party options off the ballots. When 1 billionaire has more political influence than millions of voters your vote means nothing.

    They will occasionally throw a few stale bread crumbs out to quiet the masses, but that’s all they are, stale bread crumbs.

      You can get involved and change things. That’s the point.

      Saying “nuh uh” and “it’s rigged” shows how little involvement you have. It’s self-defeating. Change has a pathway, it’s built-in. We can use it. We just have to, y’know, use it. The bare minimum of which is to vote.

        Change and change has never come about via electoral politics, it has come about via mutual aid and class solidarity.

        The only thing built into politics is defending the current systems of oppression, participating in and defending those systems prevents change and progress.

          Man I don’t know if you’re talking about United States politics, but it has definitely seen change come about via electoral politics. Many times.

          As for russia or whatever - yeah that may be, I dunno.

            None of this conversation is about anything other than the US. Not a single one of our rights have been a result of electoral politics. Every right has been fought for tooth and nail, often times with the deaths of many people
