    There are no small wins anymore. Harm reduction is important, but it’s also important to understand what is happening right now. That’s all I’m saying. The Democrats will not be your salvation, they will be your slow demise. The Republicans will be your quick demise. People need to take to the streets, not the ballots. If you can’t see that, then you’re still living in the past. Listen to yourself: “compete dissolution of checks and balances” but you still think we can reform it all better?

    C’mon, you don’t seem to be that out of the loop. Surely you get it by now? I don’t think you deserve to have a master

      not the ballots

      Go to the ballots and vote for who you want. Will it be sufficient, dunno, but it is absolutely needed to put in at least that effort.

      Historically non-democratic means of overthrowing a previously democratic systems do not end well…

      I’m not sure you understand my position. I’m against the Democrats and the Republicans. I don’t think voting will be our solution. I’m pretty sure that I never said we can reform it, and I think we’re gonna have to tear it all down and start over.
