    It doesn’t matter if there’s a handful of low-ranking Dems who might want to do more for the working class. The system is set up in a way such that they’ll never be able to make any meaningful changes. If it were possible to vote in a better system, it would’ve happened already.

      I’m not suggesting that we can vote our way to socialism. I’m pointing out that extreme cynicism about politics is reactionary (“there is no society”, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”, and all that) and not accurate.

      To get people on our side we have to describe the world as it actually is (accurate) and show a path to something better (not reactionary).
