I don’t think you’re wrong, really. Whoever is in there will manage empire basically the same. Whether Biden or Trump are elected in 2024, where the US will be at in 2028 will be exactly the same. Which is why I say it really doesn’t matter who you vote for or if you don’t vote at all.

I don’t necessarily agree that electoral reform is the pathway to fixing anything. I mean, I used to think that. Then I read Marx and how he explains that the state itself is a tool of the bourgeoisie to manage inter and intra class antagonisms. Electoral reform that puts real power in the hands of the people of course would be great and would solve a lot of problems. But the people will never be given the opportunity to simply vote for that. That would be asking the bourgeois state voluntarily sacrifice most of its power and that will not happen.
