    You can get involved and change things. That’s the point.

    Saying “nuh uh” and “it’s rigged” shows how little involvement you have. It’s self-defeating. Change has a pathway, it’s built-in. We can use it. We just have to, y’know, use it. The bare minimum of which is to vote.

      Change and change has never come about via electoral politics, it has come about via mutual aid and class solidarity.

      The only thing built into politics is defending the current systems of oppression, participating in and defending those systems prevents change and progress.

        Man I don’t know if you’re talking about United States politics, but it has definitely seen change come about via electoral politics. Many times.

        As for russia or whatever - yeah that may be, I dunno.

          None of this conversation is about anything other than the US. Not a single one of our rights have been a result of electoral politics. Every right has been fought for tooth and nail, often times with the deaths of many people

            Wow. That’s . . . really wrong.
