And the way to change it is to Vote Vote Vote! Vote for the Democrats! This time they are really gonna do it.
If the leftish faction won every time, politics as a whole would shift left. So unironically, yes, vote.
If lobbying and campaign donation stay legal, no matter which politicians you vote, the result will stay the same. The rich and corps can easily buy out any politicians they want
Even then, if a Communist or Socialist party took power, the other mechanisms of the State will work against it. Allende proved this.
Not true, nor can the DNC be considered leftish. The DNC will always act in the interests of their donors and economic interests, hence their unceasing support for genocide despite genocide being unpopular.
The leftish faction won every time, and that's why the democrats are merging with republicans now. 🤡
Yes, and don’t forget to donate to be extra sure. Donate that little money you safe from your three sharing economy jobs (after you payed your rent to Blackstone) to the Democrats, so they can pay a consultant ghoul a six figure salary to think of a new way to market genocide denial.
Voting in the USA is important, but only to prevent worse. Actual change for the better is institutionally impossible. Therefor you need extrainstitutional methods for change.
How did that strategy work out so far, now you have two parties that actively support and enable genocide.
