How the fuck do you look at this and go “Hmm yes I’ll vote, this system is totally working”? This isn’t a democracy. Your only option is a senile zionazi puppet leader.
Even the french understood what to do in this situation. There are already leftist orgs you can join which aim to take power over this thinly-veiled oligarchy.
Could you point me to some non-academic group organizing to take power in the US? Any channel where its possible to follow their activity or at least their analyses
I’m not in the US so you’re prolly better off asking in !socialism@lemmy.ml but I’ve heard alot of good things about FRSO and PSL. Check out their websites for their activity and analyses.
Up until about a year ago I would have said the Justice Democrats. They had the right plan but their support unfortunately collapsed not long after Bernie dropped out of the 2020 primary. They are still the best option I know of, but I don’t know if they can come back.
No one thinks the system is working. The losers say it’s rigged, the winners beleive they’re lucky they won in a broken system, and the winners eventually become losers anyway. So yeah, the left wants better candidates but the shit part about being on the left, on any progressive front, is that we can’t all agree on what’s most important so we get stuck with limp, neutrally progressive candidates as an average of our interests. The right, the don’t-change or even regressive side, has it so much easier. Just vote for a crybaby that stomps his foot saying “no” to his greens. Even if they debate between Trump or Christie or Haley, whoever, they’ll still have an easier time just undoing whatever that black guy or the junkie’s dad did.
So yeah, we keep voting at the final game for the wet towel because we saw how easy it was for the other side to start ripping into democracy. We saw what happens when progressives boycott the vote because their favorite candidate didn’t win the primary. We saw what happens when half the country argues about turning left, right, staying straight, or maybe even going up while the conservatives only debate about hitting the brakes or throwing it in reverse. We don’t have ranked choice or any other better system than FPTP so here we are
