Honestly, the only thing I see actually working is more Luigis. Gotta have the fucks in charge scared enough to comply, or just outta the way entirely. I’m not advocating violence, obviously, but I honestly don’t see anything else bringing about change. Protest doesn’t seem to work, and none of the Democrat politicians care enough to actually act. Voting doesn’t seem to be worth a damn, but I still do it anyway because it’s something I can do and takes like 5 mins. I can’t protest because I work, and I can’t be loud on online forums where I can be identified because I don’t want anyone who knows me professionally (clients) to know my true opinions.
I think “seize the means of production” is an supplement to Luigi. If protesters take over the Xitter servers, for example, they can change the algorithm. Ditto for Faux News. This would catch a great deal of attention. Same with federal workers seizing the US Treasury, DOGE offices, and so on. Make our own t-shirts, manage the diners, run the farms, hospitals minus unreasonable costs, and so forth.
The big problem is getting enough people for it, and coordinating their supply chains to replace corporate-controlled shackles on cooperative commerce. The way Dogey America is going, however, has freed up many civil servants who are familiar with what it means to keep things running smoothly.
There is a chance that we will be able to have a reset of America, depending on how capitalists and cooperatives play their respective hands.
Voting takes you V minutes?! Wish I were that lucky, it was a day long ordeal for me. Feels like the sort of thing you should just be able to do on an app given modern technology.
Isn’t , or wasn’t, there an agency that was supposed to watch for voting rights? How isn’t this a violation of your voting rights by placing an unreasonable burden in your right?
I also had about 5 minute voting time, maybe 15 round trip from home and back. There’s nothing stopping every state from ensuring this, except for politicians who want to suppress votes or who don’t think they have to care about voters.
Out of curiosity, how are your voting places defined, or for what scale? I’ve always had them at every elementary school, which greatly limits how much of a line there can be, and you only need a dozen or so stations per

Many minority heavy areas in red states are intentionally underserved, including/especially polling places.

Online voting is a surprisingly hard issue
I live in a super rural area, so there’s like no wait time if you go first thing in the morning
