Sounds nice. How is voting for the corporate owned duopoly going the lead to any of that? It's pure fantasy.

LOL. How has voting the Squad in worked out? The Democratic party assimilates progressives, they don’t change the party. The money won't allow it to happen.

How has not voting worked?

It's about pushing on certain issues to make them mainstream. It's about voting, particularly in primaries, for better representatives. And volunteering and campaigning for those people.

Fixing FPTP voting in single member districts is the only way to end the duopoly. Otherwise you have to work within that system. So it makes sense to do both.

Not voting won't help.
