    Extremists get their way, because they infiltrate a party of their choice and slowly move it towards their goals. They don’t care if the party they root for is 100% exactly what they want, they just manipulate it and its members long enough until it does. The same could be done by the opposing side, yet somehow they decided to stay at home to “teach the dems a lesson”, while waiting for the shining hero to save them all…

    People might hate me for this, but i think it’s not just the maga cult that is affected by the broken educational system and centuries of exceptionalist propaganda. Political parties don’t change by doing nothing.

      It absolutely is being done by the other side. Assuming you’re describing the sides of Mossad, the CIA, the FSB, and the Guoanbu.

      That said, I think you’re seriously underselling the impact of strikes, boycotts, and walk outs. A party exists through it’s people, and you can absolutely affect an organization when you form a large enough block that’s willing to simply walk away from a corrupt and failing organization. That’s a very effective way of bringing management to heel.
