    Exactly. I agree 100%. The system is what it is and it will only change over the course of lifetimes, not years. Unless your solution is violent revolution in which case I’d still say to also cast meaningful votes based on some criteria of your choosing. I guess you could vote Republican on the hopes a fascist America would more quickly be overthrown internally or externally. That sounds like a terrible timeline to live through, though.

      Capitalism likely will not last that long. The US is losing its Hegemony and the Global South is increasingly acting in their own interests.

      Revolution will likely eventually occur, it’s not something I can just force into happening. Who I vote for will not materially change that course. I do plan on voting, but even if I vote for PSL it won’t materially move the Revolution up the schedule.

      Accelerationism is dangerous thinking that quickly backfires. Organizing is still by far the most important duty of Leftists.

        It must be frustrating to see the course America is on, know what it would take to alter it, but be powerless to stop it.
