I did the thing. I made my voice heard in our democracy, others in my community did the same. But nothing fucking changed and the system of electoralism remains ever rotten to the core.
Lol but now I’m being told that “they’re scared of us because they say how frustrated we were.” Bull fucking shit. Why the hell do people equate mean words and insults with violence? This is the exact same song and dance that’s been happening for decades in American politics. “You must work within the system to get the change you want” or whatever other nonsense. “Be sure not to damage any potential relationships with liberals or scare off any potential voters!”
I guess the most absurd part about all of this is that liberalism has a track record of producing zero systemic change (or hell even challenges for that matter). So what am I fucking doing with my life at this point? What the hell can you even do without doing something that addresses the root cause of a serious problem?

Amber.
That’s the thing though. I struggle to see a reality where multiple people voting in a left way will make any tangible difference on an election outcome. Because there are so many fucking back room dealings and all it takes is one coward to flip
I have so many more thoughts but nowhere to spread them without
but something has to give eventually. I guess I’ll just be twiddling my thumbs until the bourgeois decide to start automating everything and/or climate change gets real

Do you have any good literature/write-ups on how to go about building a support network? Like almost doing socialism with capitalism? I have a few pretty well-compensated friends and we’ve all floated the idea but have had some trouble getting the idea off of the ground
