So are you saying democracy doesn’t work? Yes there is the corruption and all the horrible shit that goes on but no one ever had the chance to nip that in the bud before it got this bad?
The People had elections and they slowly setup then current situation. It is the current citizens having to deal with the system created by those in the past. Some are naive to how the government currently works and some are too easily swayed by misinformation so it is an uphill battle. But we still have free and fair elections so pushing for policy change is possibly. We just have 50% of the population shooting themselves in the foot not demanding the real types of change they actually need.
Nope. I’m saying that a 250 year old system that’s been chipped away at for ages and under the complete control of fascists isn’t going to save people from the fascists.

Is this another strawman or is this you saying that? Because I sure as hell never said nor even implied anything of the sort.

My comment was because people want to say there is nothing we can do. The issue isn’t about options, its about education and finding a way to make progress when a good portion the electorate will only be in the way.

Should stop looking in the mirror then.
