If we can actually get back in power after they rig or cancel elections, yes!

Ranked choice voting is barely better the first past the post. We need approval voting like STAR.

The great need for anything good to happen policy-wise is that death grip on controlled information and shaping opinion be broken. The Luigi Mangione story showed it was possible. The Epstein Files are refusing to be buried.

There’s still a chance. The surrender of public discourse to tech can start reaching levels of inauthenticity and distrust that can become critical. The AI hype is proof of that. Regular people who interact with it realize it’s shit, while the parasite class keeps doubling down on bad investments.

If people can start looking around them and seeing how badly government needs to support working people over elite Nazi pedophiles hiding their list, that’s when labels like “socialist” stop being campaign killers.
