I am not against trying, but this approach has failed up until now, largely because most of the people who run the system have been bought and paid for, so they are only serving their own interests rather than those of the people.

How fair are the elections? As an outsider looking in, there does appear to have been at least some fuckery on that front, so it seems like participating in their game is a losing battle unless there is a forced restructuring of the system itself.

Cypherpunks interested in cryptocurrency or some form of digital cash waged a largely losing battle for decades until Bitcoin. Things often don’t work until they do because some naive idiot(s) wouldn’t stop trying.

Building alternative systems until something sticks is an approach I will always support. Voting, however... I don't begrudge people for doing it, I just don't believe it really solves anything in a system that is setup a certain way. Especially when that system is heavily skewed towards those who run it and make all of the decisions, when they are so obviously self-serving and working for the interests of their donors, rather than their constituents.

It's a similar theme in Europe. Most people vote against something, and the politicians do it anyway.
