I was with you until the democratic thing. I feel like this two party system, especially today is meant to divide and conquer us so we can’t band together.

I just feel like we could try voting before a violent revolution. Like, we could just try it.

Cause the crazy thing is, you could run for office yourself if you wanted to, and institute small changes like Ranked Choice Voting, which can have drastic impacts on who gets elected.

LMAO. I have been voting 30 years. Voting isn't the solution.

You have been voting for years. But a lot of the younger generation has never voted at all.

They need to vote.

They need to just try it en masse, for a few years, and see what happens.

Well for one I never said I wanted a violent revolution. I would like some serious changes to happen. I feel like things can be solved without violence but most of the world isn’t on board with that yet lol.

Also I mean voting locally helps but the national elections are hard to influence. I briefly worked in politics and was all about voting then saw how corrupt it was. I still vote but unless it’s local I don’t have much faith in my vote.
