This is true. Nothing has gotten better in US history by voting and protesting and organizing.

Things will get worse either really fast or kinda slowly but nothing will get better.

Back in the day they protested with guns in the streets and by not letting people into factories. Not this pussy shit by asking for a permit to protest.

Maybe things will get better if we sit in a corner sobbing long enough!

Yeah so may as well do nothing. Go run for office or go work with the campaign you want to win.

Why can’t you think further than electoral campaigns? Why not organize a trade or tenant’s union, reach out to a local community and get them organized, do volunteer work as part of a political organization (or even any random group or Church if necessary), do anything other than pitching all your hope into the Democratic Party when history and political theory show that you’ll just be coopted?

Absolutely. Go wild. Like they say: Nothing changes if nothing changes.
If we want things to change we kinda need to do it. Voting is important. But it isn’t enough.

The system is the cause of the problem, you won’t fix it from inside it.

So may as well do nothing then. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sounds like you want to pour gas on the fire and hope to rebuild from the ashes.
