If Project 2025 is successful, we won't ever have another democratic election. Our election is going to work like Russia's does after that point, and we will have a dictator of some kind that pretends to hold elections.
So, unfortunately, this is not the way.
You are very right, and I feel your pain. I'm not judging you for feeling that way, at all.
I just don't think that abstaining from voting is going to work in favor of fixing this issue. If anything we need to keep voting to keep the country as left as it can be for now, until we can shift the two parties we are forced to pick from farther to the left.
Perfect! Don't vote for the dems for several elections. I'm certain this plan will usher in a new era of progressive politics. Well done. You idiot.
You're talking about the political will of a nation as you would training a puppy. It's incredibly reductive and simply not how the overton window works.
If the republicans win the next several elections the democrats will move further to the right to try to steal votes off them. The republicans will have to move further to the right to differentiate themselves from the democrats.
Not surprisingly, the more republicans win elections the further right everything moves.
Your position is exactly where the conservatives would have you. They can't win your vote so their best outcome is to convince you not to vote.
Why you gotta smoke the UAW president, Shawn Fain?
This is naiive accelerationist nonsense.
You do not fix systems by ignoring them and letting badgers tear them apart for years in your absence.
The vast majority of the time, actual change comes from people engaging with the system and slowly pushing it in the right direction.
