    I appreciate the sentiment, so I upvoted. Voting is integral to a liberal democracy, just start at the local level.

    My thinking, being from the US personally, is if you have a solid grass roots coalition who can provide support it’s a win. Getting someone elected at the top won’t help if you don’t have support underneath them.

    “If voting worked they would make it illegal” is true, because they disenfranchise voters all the time. Unfortunately, a liberal democracy is the strongest path forward to a better system of government/economic redistribution.

          I want to know how you figure fake democracy substitute qualifies as “the strongest path forward to a better system.”

              It’s our current system.

              Yes, the one you just learned happily funds genocide - just like it has for more than a hundred years now.

              What is a stronger and more viable path forward in your opinion?

              You mean… apart from something that can be called democratic with a straight face?
