        Direct action fixed a lot of issues historically. It can also fix the democratic process

          (yes) voting

          At least you acknowledge it. It takes civic participation & political organizing to get it done. It doesn’t just happen without enough voter activation & activism to get the right people on the ballot see it through.

            I mean, the biggest problem is that you can’t win if you make it to the ballot in most places. Because its not a democracy.

            Some places have rank choice voting. And in those districts, voting makes the most sense

              Only if you’re talking about 3rd parties. The major parties have primaries to get them on the ballot that way.

      Stop blaming voters

      Now see here. I know exactly why Donald Trump is President and it’s because TikTok told my snot-nosed nephew to say “Free Palestine” during Thanksgiving.
