1) voting for the people who rigged the system to disenfranchise the voters is not a great way to get policies passed.

If the Democrats hadn't rigged the 2016, 2020, and now the 2024 primaries, maybe I would consider voting for them.

2) take what win? I don't see anyone winning anything. I have seen, in some small areas, minor declines in the rate of destruction of the working and middle classes.

No one but vulture capital, pharma and the MIC have made any gains under the former Senator From MBNA.

The rich have gotten richer and the poor have gotten poorer, same as every Democratic administration since Clinton and the neoliberal Republican Lite took over.

You're not wrong about any of it. It is, however, the system we're stuck with currently. So until you can propose a meaningful solution rather than just complaining about it, I'll take tinkering at the margins. Because the American public is too cowed to ask for more than that.

My meaning solution is to not preserve the people impeding progress.

Tinkering around the margins isn't helping - it's preserving the people who serve the corporations bleeding America dry.

You don't feed a parasite.
