    The time to change these underlying facts is after the election, pushing one, or both, parties to change their policies for the next election

    you are fucking lost if you see this shit and think the answer to this is more electoral bullshit forever

      What alternative approach would you personally suggest? Let’s rule out abandoning elections or anything of that nature as I really don’t think you’d get far with that.

      What system/process do you want to see, and how do we get there from here? This is a genuine question, not some sort of gotcha.

        Labour, our power has always been our labour.
        You need a working class movement that sees the Senate and the Supreme Court for the bullshit it is, but tbh I don’t have any faith in that for America because of people like you.

          You’re right, in that labour is the power we bring. How would you go about mobilizing that? How do you propose convincing enough people to agree with you and to pull in the same direction?
