If the law has one standard for the rich and powerful and another for the rest of us, it will be hard for ordinary Americans to maintain their faith in democracy.
That’s why we need to be vocal that your vote matters, that if you participate in democracy, there is an actual avenue to solving the massive problem we’re in.
Our democracy has mechanisms to rip power away from bad actors, but it needs a super majority. And since elected Republican officials are unwilling to remove their own, it’s up to the voters.
After dems have a super majority and purge the rot, they will undoubtedly split into multiple parties, since dems aren’t anywhere close to one mindset. This is actually the path to ranked choice voting that gets touted here repeatedly. Same with the electoral college.
Lemmy is plagued by tankies trying to make it seem like there’s no point in voting, that “revolution” is the only way forward. They need to be shut down every time. They breed this apathy you mentioned, and it’s simply not true.
I believe that we could someday have a super majority. It’s just unrealistic to believe it will happen anytime soon. How do we overcome the current grid lock? Which democrat candidate appeals to all voters?
I like that you get excited for this stuff but we have to face reality.
