    You’re incredibly defeatist. You absolutely can, that’s why they keep spending so much money trying to influence our vote.

      I agree that spending boatloads of money on propaganda is an effective way of dictating the terms of an election.

      It’s possible that you just don’t agree that capital owners have more money and influence than the rest of the country by orders of magnitude, and that somehow if we just yell really really loudly that we can overcome that immense power differential.

        I thought YOU were the one arguing to “just yell really really loudly”? I’m the one arguing for actual concrete action, like voting. We’ve overcome it countless times throughout history. But first you have to educate your neighbours. We’ve spent too long saying “it’s not my responsibility to educate you”.
