    I appreciate the sentiment, so I upvoted. Voting is integral to a liberal democracy, just start at the local level.

    My thinking, being from the US personally, is if you have a solid grass roots coalition who can provide support it’s a win. Getting someone elected at the top won’t help if you don’t have support underneath them.

    “If voting worked they would make it illegal” is true, because they disenfranchise voters all the time. Unfortunately, a liberal democracy is the strongest path forward to a better system of government/economic redistribution.

    Did that once, just like a cartoon. And while stumbling around bleeding, I stepped on it again. Had to get stitches.
