    Got a love electoralist politics and hierarchical power structures. All of society being controlled by the outcome of the lowest common denominator. Such a wonderful system, ain’t it? (/s)

    Those “positions of power” only have power because we collectively “agree” to concede to their authority.

    We could always collectively organize to do something else … but that means effort and risk needs to be taken. Sadly, in my experience, not enough people are ready and willing to take those risks . . . yet.

      The problem is you want real actual change for the better, most voters just want their team to win because they think it’s the lesser of two evils.

      If the majority of voters are voting for this, then that’s your majority willing to collectively organize to do something.
