It kinda feels like you’re advocating the viewpoint that anything less than total revolution is useless. While I understand feeling like the system is working as intended, I don’t think that means we can’t improve things short of overthrowing the government and enforcing a more just society through violence. And I think that the argument that short of a complete rewrite there’s nothing we can do really just makes people feel more defeated and apathetic. If you wanna win the war, morale is kinda important.

I find it very easy to let perfect be the enemy of good, and I think that policy change that moves the country in the right direction, like putting more power (proportionally) in the hands of the American public is a good thing worth fighting for, regardless of whether you’d like a future that’s further from our current reality.

(Also, your comment comes across as pretty angry and that’s perfectly understandable given the state of the world, but please know I’m not disagreeing with you trying to start an argument or flame war about whose political opinion is correct, I don’t really think that’s productive and don’t really want to be the target of someone’s anger)
