MODERATORS
Ok then, what should people do? Easy to criticize, but hard to find answers.
Edit: I'll stick to what actually works: punch a nazi.
Organize your locality, get involved with local politics start a communal garden, do literally anything more than just vote
Join PSL and DSA and do not vote until they follow through with demands, both sides continue genocide and war on a grand scale
This does nothing but help the GOP, who are openly bragging about installing a dictator.
This assumes the USA is a democracy at the federal level. Where votes by people matter.
Many states use election machines, owned by oligarchs, whose operations are a closed book and are not regulated. Coincidentally those states, both red and blue, fail tests approved by the United Nations to detect tampering of votes.
Those states make the other states, that actually pass the tests, irrelevant.
What makes democracy, in the USA, unable to curb the even the very gross problems today is not the people doing the cheating.
But it is the people who refuse to call the cheating out (by addressing the real issues), and more important the majority of citizens who absolutely do not see this as a problem. It’s only when this is addressed can the actual issues of a real democracy be looked at.
Even then, real reform is hard to do in a democracy. Especially one so large and out of control as the nation we see now. So any reform has to be not using the ballot box.
A boycott actually could help.
They do not care if you do not vote. Actually getting you not to vote is their stated goal and they have spent decades and millions of dollars specifically trying to make it harder for you to vote.
Republican efforts to suppress voting and the democrat “get out the vote” initiatives have much in common.
In some states voting matters, in most it does not. And federally it does not.
Seen in this context both efforts are a type of grifting and scam. No different than other political rabble rousing.
Pretensions USA is a democracy makes reform that much harder. And both parties do this well
Help the axis of resistance fight the west.
