we need to have a hard look at how we got into this position,

I will scream this unpopular message until I turn blue. Get involved in your local community politics.

We all only seem to care about electoralism every four years when we're presented with a disgusting choice that disheartens us all and makes people cynical and feel unable to affect change. Meanwhile, there might be uncontested elections running in your county RIGHT NOW that will decide how much and what kind of support will be given to your district, how your schools will be run, how your taxes will be used. Even just pushing back against local political candidates you don't agree with sends a powerful message, that we demand actual representation, not WWE theater like the fascists want to make it.

Our federal government is the peak of a pyramid. We're all clawing and scrambling to make the peak all polished and shiny according to our own values, meanwhile the giant foundation is just crumbling every day, threatening to bring the whole thing down.
