    money is not everything, and if any good outcome is still possible then forcing democrats to not be controlled opposition is the priority. but i do believe that is not possible, as you say. in which case voting at all is pointless, and we should enact amendment 2

      Money is not everything, I agree.

      Money is a HUGE motivator for many people, though. Enough to put a thumb on the scale and change history.

      As much as I’d like every American to pick up a gun and end this corrupt government, as intended, it simply isn’t going to happen.

      Same with a general strike. A general strike would bring this government to its knees and in a non-violent way. Never gonna happen though. You can’t achieve that kind of solidarity.

      Plus, what happens after a theoretical revolution happens? Hopefully there’s another structure already planned out and ready to go or you get a power vacuum and things get even worse.

        then you argue for capitulation to tyrany. then there is no point in listening to you as you have already given up to death.
