I think what people are missing is Trump/Vance being the worst possible outcome. But yes, real power does come from organizing - not from sitting in front of a screen "raising awareness".

The worst possible outcome is really perpetuating this horrible system to begn with.

I agree, which is exactly what refusing to participate does. Lazy rationalizations help the oligarchs as much as money and brainwashing.

Participating in the electoral system also perpetuates it, the Capitalists don't care who wins because they already approve of both major parties.

Okay if changing the system through the system is impossible then what's your plan?

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 days ago

Revolution, which requires worker organization and the building of dual power, as has been done successfully in many countries.
