How has "changing things slowly from within the bounds of the system" been working out for America so far? Just saying but democrats won the last election and civil rights, women's rights, and cost of living have all gotten worse, and America's boundless support for imperialism hasn't really changed at all. Is the status quo forever fine in your view? Do you think that there will just somehow never be another republican president, and that by continually voting in whoever the DNC decides should represent their interests next, you'll somehow stave off the descent into American Christian fascism? How about all the times that Republicans and fascists blatantly break the law and are entirely unpunished (judicially) for doing so? What power do lawmakers supposedly wield to better the system if they can't even punish Republicans for breaking the laws that already exist and blatantly, openly, talking about turning the country into a dictatorship?
