    Listen, you’re not wrong in the long term. But right at this moment in history a true dem majority in both chambers brings the feasible voting reform (new voting rights bill and maaaaaaaaybe ranked choice voting (I know that’s a pipe dream)) that can lead towards true reform without a revolution that will only injure poor people more than rich people like they always do.

    If the repubs right now win, we’re going to see a war. Or worse, just a straight up dictatorship

          When was the last time you voted on whether to invade another country, or double the price of food, or to turn something as simple and basic as health care into a luxury commodity until people can’t afford to have teeth? I don’t remember voting to let covid rip, or give tanks and murder robots to the cops, or to ignore climate change for decades. I was never consulted on if we should have the world’s largest system of prison slavery.

          All of these decisions were made for us, at our expense, because they made the donor class more money, and we live in a dictatorship of the rich.
