All meaningful positive change in the US happened outside of the theatre piece of electoral politics. These include:
Socialist armies like vietnam’s bringing the US to heel ended the US draft.
Large numbers of people protesting internally, brought the end of the vietnam war, rights for workers like the 8 hour day, women’s rights, etc. The US has one of the bloodiest labor histories of any country, and unfortunately the US state did defeat it, but all of the gains for US workers come from this historical period of anti-capitalist organization.
US electoralism is a distracting theatre piece, where both sides act as capitalist puppets. All positive change comes in spite of that system, when ppl start organizing outside of it.
I don’t care if you play. I’m merely saying how continuing to do nothing is pointless. Good luck complaining the government out of power.

Why must it be one or the other? Do you really believe the best strategy is to focus all of your efforts in one direction?
