    Run for political office. The Democrats have no intention of fixing anything, let alone making things better.

    And if you believe you’re not qualified or don’t know how to do the job, just remember that both parties are filled with incompetent fools, fakes, conspiracy crackpots, and morons. It would take considerable effort to do worse than some of the people in congress.

      Well, both parties are also filled with money and other resources needed to ensure that only two parties can succeed.

      We need alternative voices in office, but I don’t think that’s happening without some form of revolution. The best one can hope for in lieu of that is co-opting a party’s direction over a span of decades, like the fascists did to the GOP.

      Politics stopped working at the federal level, and only some states are full democracies.

      So running for local office either won’t help at all, because the fight is not there. Or it’s a dangerous futile thing to do - if one were to be outspoken and all public against injustice.

      The only hope for many is to make new things while breaking as little of the old as possible
