    I’d argue that organizing a nationwide vote of no confidence for our entire government is imperative instead of playing games with the Democrats who prop up fascism by alienating people who want to achieve progress.

    There is no precedent, but being held hostage to a broken system and playing in a rigged game will get us nowhere without extremely radical campaign finance reform and voting/election reform.

    You need money to win elections, progressives and leftists or left-leaning individuals can’t compete with big money.

        Let me know how that goes.

        That’s the attitude. I think my suggestion has merit.

        Let me know how many progressive individuals get elected after a few more decades of capital doing whatever it wants to crush any forward movement of our society (if we even have elections anymore).

        The fresh water crisis will get us before anyone can achieve progress on any level if we keep letting the government (or what’s left of it) and elections be bought out by capital.
