The only way out is realizing that elections are not the only way to engage in democratic societies.

That means organizing: at work, neighborhoods, churches etc to protest against the upcoming attacks that will come. History has shown over and over again that elites don’t share power with the people out of the goodness of their hearts but because they fear the alternative (revolution). Anything else is BS.

I feel so much a sense of hopelessness given that the courts seem to have moved to the right, legislatures are increasingly gerrymandered etc, etc, such that I wonder: “will grass roots organizing really change anything?” I guess the same could be asked about voting but I will sure as shit vote and get involved even if my contribution is a very very small thing.

That’s why I’m saying we shouldn’t care about voting anymore.

The solution at this point is getting to the streets, mass strikes. Civil disobedience.
