But the people do have the power to elect someone who is wlling to make change, bernie for example. Most people just dont vote for their best interest.
The people did vote for Bernie in the 2020 primaries, then the Democratic Party said they knew better than us and made Clinton the nominee anyways. And oopsy the two party system means you don’t get to vote for someone who represents you, just for the person who is slightly less evil.
That’s not what happened. People voted… for Hillary. She won the popular vote, that’s not the controversy. I mean it’s the made up controversy that people buy into. What happened as far as them playing kingmaker was that they put party support behind a candidate before the votes had been made. They nudged people to vote for her instead of being unbiased. They did vote for her though. She would have won without the super delegates, but people like to complain about bad things even when they aren’t what caused the bad outcome. I also think you mean 2016? Biden had the votes by a larger margin in 2020.
lol no we don’t. not through electoralism alone, anyway. they need to be AFRAID to offer a compromise candidate like FDR. like, ‘the russian revolution just happened and those circumstances are happening here oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck I do not want to die in a coal mine and the coal miners ARE ALREADY FIGHTING THE ARMY AIR CORPS shit shit shit shit shit’ afraid
They have power, they just don’t use it in a way you want them to. They serve the oligarchs not you.

I wish range voting can be implemented somewhere so people see its power
