If your system has allowed itself to devolve into "vote for my slightly less oppressive status quo or else you get abject oppression" then you kinda have to begin admitting the entire system is folly and needs to be dismantled.
You're not wrong. Easier said than done, though. Looks like we'll be doing it the hard way, societal collapse.
Good, this society deserves to collapse. It is fundamentally oppressive and exploitative.
Any solution that has to start with purges is an inherently bad solution. Collapse isn't much better, the people that have already borne the worst of things will be the hardest hit. But it might also be wishful thinking: If the last ten months hasn't caused it, what will?
Also don't disagree. It's just tragic how much suffering has to happen.
Getting rid of Citizens United and implementing ranked choice voting will get rid of this. We have to continue voting for the most progressive candidates running in the primaries and still eating the shit sandwich when it's an establishment dem if we ever want to fix it.
Slightly?
Yes. Capitalist Imperialism is only marginally better than Fascism. It enables the rise of the other, afterall.
newsom bulldozes homeless camps and arrests them while having a donor base of tech bro cryptofascists and real estate developers, Biden ships blockbuster bombs to Gaza, Obama drones multitudes and continues Bush's "nation building" kleptocracies, Bill Clinton sets the future economic agenda for all of the above when he guts welfare spending while sacrificing local industry jobs for financialization via NAFTA
This is fine.
