  Why can’t you think further than electoral campaigns? Why not organize a trade or tenant’s union, reach out to a local community and get them organized, do volunteer work as part of a political organization (or even any random group or Church if necessary), do anything other than pitching all your hope into the Democratic Party when history and political theory show that you’ll just be coopted?

    Absolutely. Go wild. Like they say: Nothing changes if nothing changes.

    If we want things to change we kinda need to do it. Voting is important. But it isn’t enough.

  The system is the cause of the problem, you won’t fix it from inside it.

    So may as well do nothing then. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Sounds like you want to pour gas on the fire and hope to rebuild from the ashes.
