This is backwards. The working class is giving their power voluntarily to the elite. There is no force needed to get it, just don’t give it away.

What is missing that people keep voting the way they do? There is nobody to hold power if people prefer to give it away.

I’d love to vote for a candidate who represents my views but have never once in my life been presented with anything even close.

How much time are you willing to invest to make such a candidate available?

I am an Anarchist. I don’t think it matters, the Democratic process doesn’t really include the possibility of the outcome of “we should stop doing all this nonsense”.

Ah yes - pissing away your vote on a third party in a 2 party first-past-the-post system will definitely fix it and not simply empower the greater evil.

It’s only pissing away if you don’t know that others vote alike. With surveys you know when a party is ready to take over.

What portion of the US population do you think have a remotely viable third party option?
