That doesn’t make any sense at all. People have tried to play the system and vote for decades. This doesn’t work because the system is literally designed to prevent you from winning. People really need to get this through their skulls. The alternative is obviously not to fight the military either. It’s to organize mutual aid, unions, and a workers movement. Go read up on how MAS in Bolivia got organized to the point where they can do a national strike in a matter of hours. That’s the power workers have. It’s not going pulling a lever to pick the member of the ruling class who is going to rule over you and oppress you every four years like an imbecile. It’s to recognize that workers are what makes the whole economy run, and when workers stop working the country grinds to a halt. The fact that Americans still can’t understand this basic fact is just phenomenal.
