    I mean I feel like i agree with you on everything, other than you believe political change is possible and I dont. I also do not believe you have argued that the outcome is remotely likely, only that its more possible than revolution.

    It would be easier to get a shitload of progressives elected into positions of power in the US via the democratic party than it would be to lead a successful revolution to overthrow the US government

    Let me float a third option, which is the current state of the country will remain unchanged. The economy will eventually collapse under the weight of the capitalists, triggering worldwide economic collapse, and then WW3. I’m just praying fascism loses again in the end, and that the systems can survive long enough for me to die naturally first.

    I don’t believe either side gives two wet shits about the social issues they argue about. The only thing they care about is that we continue to villainize each other about it

    The goal is that they have a few wedge issues to fight over, so we vote based on that and that alone. A good wedge issue for them involves a few things, it is something with a deep emotional tie, something that is almost impossible for us to just ignore, something with a clear for/against stance, and MOST importantly, it has no impact on the capitalists continuing to drain our blood until were desiccated hollow shells screaming at each other about trans sports from our cardboard boxes under the overpass

    I respectfully disagree that the party could never change due to their current funding

    If what you are saying is that the democratic party could change because we vote in enough progressives then I have a bridge to sell you. The capitalists who own the government would just out-finance progressive election attempts. Think of how many progressives we would need to have it impact the whole Dem party, now think about how many elections that is where the entire force of the media is against the politician who will actually fight for you. Now consider how easily manipulated our wildly uneducated population is.

    I know its a bitter pill to swallow but capitalism has already destroyed democracy long ago. It is just that we have been in decline for so long now that it is finally becoming unavoidably obvious.

    Its all wedge issues. Keep us arguing about stuff that doesn’t get in the way of capitalism and you wont demand a better life. Hell many of us will even defend the party that aligns with our side of a wedge issue because “At least it isnt the other one i hate”, and while i understand voting for the lesser evil, we all do it, I will never understand defending the lesser evil. If 2 people are stabbing me to death I wont thank the one using a smaller knife.
