    Yeah, if you don’t do it it doesn’t work, duh.
    But if you can get enough power to do whatever you mean by more, you can just use it to elect whomever you want, and if you can’t do even that, than you don’t have any power.
    All this talks about “stop voting better do my version of firebombing wallmart” just reveals that you want to do your version of firebombing wallmart and don’t actually want meaningful changes politically

      elect whomever you want

      I dont think anyone suould be invested with that kind of power, and compromising on that seems to always end in epic ratfuck or betrayal that feels like straight up diablous ex machina. If you remember that time we elected a charismatic community organizer from w rough neighborhood, the time we elected the kinda tech literate environmentalist former vp, or the various sanders campaigns here in the states.

          Not just that, but compromising with the bourgouse american electoral version always seems to end with betrayal that makes the bolsheviks look like steadfast loyal friends in comparison.
