    True, I haven’t presented any facts, I don’t care enough about arguing with internet strangers anymore to spend much time on it. Your claim was that “voting has never worked”, which is false. Voting works frequently, especially at the state and local level, but obviously not all the time. If voting doesn’t work then why are the republicans working to hard to suppress it?

      a) because individuals among the elite and their factions protect their status and their sources of power and income
      b) to flood the zone and force everyone else to respond
      c) because that’s the role their party plays in the maintenance of empire for the elite against the masses. The Ds role is to play good cop and absorb organizing energy and then literally do nothing to stop Rs (as we saw with the Biden administration) and create the conditions for the Rs to continue their program (as we see with the Obama administration) and to continue the program of the Rs (as we saw with the Obama and Biden administrations).
