Wildfires are currently devastating the greater Los Angeles area, burning over 45 square miles, torching over 1,300 structures, and putting nearly 180,000
I’m not a fan of burning down the house to catch spiders approach. Equally slow, gradual, boring and tedious democratic change has the best track record in history, whereas even successful revolutions result in ordinary people suffering the most for many years until things improve, if they ever improve.
In other words: Organize and vote, don’t fantasize about who to put up against the wall in which order.
Can’t wait to be called a fascist for this comment too.
For the most part I agree, but we are quickly moving to a place where voting either won’t do anything or won’t be a thing. For now, organizing and community support is the best thing to do, but there may come a time where we need to think about other options
What makes you so sure whatever will follow it is going to be any better?
Guess we better not try then…
The fact is that while there is no guarantee, you can at lest push to something better. Don’t self-defeat so early

Nothing wrong with wanting change.
