That's not really the root cause. Capitalism is closer to the root.
Lol. Capitalism isn't going away anytime soon. Democrats absolutely could have won if they actually stood for anything other than themselves.
Sure, but a big part of why they don't do better is they want to continue the capitalist hellscape where a few people benefit from "owning" most everything.
Because that is the system people are subscribed to. You want big change & to take on capitalism you need a V for Vendetta. The system is built on capitalism. The best chance we'd prob have right now to take on capitalism is someone with a popular agenda that is good at acting, but once elected as President they basically say... Ha, now I'm immune & will use my platform to try to get rid of capitalism. They'd probably get assassinated real quick though. Or a complete collapse of the system.
Maybe. We can still try to work on multiple things at the same time.
Demand more from the Democrats.
Fight the right wing.
Push for better systems.
No one's going to wave a magic wand and fix everything. though it would be funny to me if more billionaires were murdered , that's not really likely or safe.
It's called building dual power, and many of us are actually doing things every day to further that goal.
Is this sarcastic? Because that's literally what we're witnessing. We may have a chance at building a better world with better systems very soon.
Not if the same establishment Democrats get reelected then claim their hands are tied whenever Republicans try their usual antics.
Yeah, obviously. Doesn't mean don't be ready or don't even try
not with that attitude
