I am currently stuck in a sham democracy still using FPTP voting.
As an individual voter, my power lies in messaging and lobbying.
Following my “true conscience” at the ballot box and splitting the vote only leads to situations that we are now stuck in.
So the messaging is just keep voting Democrat no matter what and no matter how bad they fuck things up? You’re stuck in this system yet your messaging is telling us to perpetuate this very system by refusing to do anything differently?
Refusing to acknowledge how far right the Democrats have gone while burying your head in the sand with the “vote blue no matter who” mentality as they support genocide, harm the working class, and do whatever they can to aid Republicans is why we’re in this situation. These parties are two sides of the same coin. As someone else put it in another comment earlier, they’re playing “good cop bad cop” and you’re demanding that we submit to the good cop because they’re so nice and polite as they work to take your freedom from you.
