This sort of stuff is why I can't condone supporting a lesser evil. There a deep seated systemic issues that are not going to be internally reformed away by any participating player.

What is the other method for reforming them away, then?

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 1 points 1 month ago

I don't see one. Instead I would advocate for a complete replacement from the bottom up. Build up new institutions that are run by community, where people are empowered. Not a system of easily corruptible representatives that rarely align with anyone persons views.
