    at our current rate of economic and ecological breakdown we don’t really have the time or resources to form a better structure.

    Which is why we need to do a slow incrementalism by voting?

      I’m on board for anything better that we can realistically accomplish in the next decade that can guarantee long term prosperity for the people and also is not subject to greedy and power-hungry officials.

        Let me paraphrase what you said for you:

        “I will eat shit forever because the people forcefeeding me shit taught me that any alternative involves me eating shit AND drinking piss”

          Better engagement in the voting process by the voting public, for a start.

          Unfortunately too many Americans either pay no attention to our political system, are misled enough on its operations, or are too complacent or depressed to care.

          This is the root of the issue that has allowed the current system to be so corrupt, and regardless of governmental structure this is what needs to be solved before anything else.

            The system is not corrupt. The system in the US is working 100% as intended. The root of the system is capitalism. This us what living under capital is. You can’t change anything unless you understand the problem.

            You want to blame the least powerful people in society for not vote ing hard enough, instead of looking first at the most obvious thing we should consider - how all resources are extracted, produced, and distributed in society and what that means for evetything else

            This is what I don’t understand with people like you. The upper class holds all the cards and shits on everyone else, but supposedly it’s the lower classes fault for being shit on? Why is it their fault?
